SOM a Multi Use and Staple in Packing

A Sewn Open Mouth (SOM) multi-wall paper bag is a widely used industrial packaging option made for dry, flowable products. This style features an open top and a factory sealed bottom, with the open end sewn shut after filling.

These bags are filled through a hopper or vertical spout, making them suitable for both manual and automated packing systems. After filling, the user closes the top with sewing thread. An optional easy open pull tape allows for quick and clean discharge.

Durable and economical, SOM bags are one of the most established multi-wall constructions available and trusted across industries for their reliability and versatility.

SOM’s are designed for easy filling and secure packaging. With one end pre-stitched shut and the other open for product loading, they’re ideal for products like flour, grains, sugar, feed, and industrial materials. These bags offer excellent print surfaces for branding, come in various paper and barrier layer combinations, and are cost-effective for high-volume applications.

SOM Closures

For packaging free flowing products like animal feed, rice, seed and fertilizer, a gross weight open mouth bagger paired with a control hopper is often the preferred choice. This system is built to handle dry, granular materials that flow smoothly and consistently.

An operator places an empty bag on a conveyor, which moves it to the filling station. The bag is positioned either manually or automatically on the fill spout and filled to the target weight. From there, the open bag moves to a sewing head, where it can be closed by hand or through automation. Once sealed, the bag continues on to the pallet for shipment.
