Newlong NP-8 Portable Bag Closing Machine
Made in Japan, the Newlong NP-8 represents the gold standard in portable bag closing machines. Weighing in at just 6kg and featuring a fully insulated shock-resistant isolation handle, it’s lightweight and easy to handle.
This single needle Newlong stitching machine uses a double thread chain stitch. It’s specially designed for the tight closing of heavy jute and hessian bags, but is also suitable for PP/PE woven cloth and multi-wall paper bags.
