The bag is cut from flat tubular fabric, so each bag is two layers of the flat width over the cut length; the cut length is the finished length plus the top hem and the bottom seam. Fabric weight is per square metre of one layer, from the roll label or a weighed sample. Labels, drawstring mass and sewing thread are not added to the bag mass. Bags per roll count whole cut lengths. **Mesh size and bag strength for the produce are the specification's; this tool only weighs and counts.**
