Essential Tools and Accessories for Bag Sewing

To achieve clean, strong seams, pairing the right accessories with your machine is crucial.

Bag Sewer Thread

We stock a wide range of high-quality bag sewing thread designed for both handheld and industrial bag closers. Manufactured for strength and smooth feed, these threads resist fraying and deliver secure closure on paper, plastic, or woven bags.

Choose your ideal size:

• 250 g cones – suitable for mobile or light-use machines

• 4 kg spools – a practical option for small to mid-sized workshops

• 10 kg reels – designed for large-scale manufacturing where downtime isn’t an option

Each thread type runs smoothly through Newlong, Yaohan, and Zoje bag closers, ensuring professional finish and minimal waste.

Needles

The D5 needle range is compatible with most portable bag sewing machines. Using genuine, sharp needles prevents skipped stitches and prolongs machine life — a small detail that makes a big difference in daily performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which bag sewing machine is best for feed or fertiliser bags?
The Newlong NP-7 and Yaohan N600 are the most popular choices for closing heavy feed, grain, or fertiliser bags due to their strong motors and dependable stitch quality.

Can I use any thread in my bag closer?
No — bag closers require heavy-duty polyester or cotton-poly blend threads. We recommend our dedicated bag sewer threads to prevent breakage and ensure smooth operation.

What is the benefit of a two-thread machine?
Two-thread models like the Yaohan N320 provide extra strength, ideal for products that need additional reinforcement such as produce nets or mesh packaging.

Are battery bag closers powerful enough for heavy materials?
Yes — the Yaohan N600HG battery version offers nearly the same output as mains-powered models, perfect for use in the field where power outlets aren’t available.

Do you provide servicing or repairs?
Absolutely. Our technical team can service or rebuild your bag sewing machines and help you find the right parts to keep them running at peak
