NOTE .
Important to check is the free space available between the top
of the bagged product and the sewing line .
The free space must be sufficient the whole width of the bag to allow
enough material to sew .
When closing net bags or jute bags , a free space between the top of the
product and the sewing line of 10 cm is recommended .
For paper bags , not less than 5 cm is suitable .
Experiment with each type of product and bag material to see how
much space needs to be left , to avoid tearing of the bag .
