What actually happens

Flat fabric is what becomes tarpaulin, covers and the sheet stock for cut-and-sewn bags. It can be made wider than a tube and is easier to laminate evenly.

What to specify

Specify roll width and whether you need selvedge or cut edges.

How it goes wrong, and what catches it

The failure mode. Edge fraying on cut-edge fabric during conversion.

The control. Roll width and weight checked at the winder.
