Opening a rice bag quickly may seem simple, but many people don’t know the correct way to do it, leading to some hassles such as the bag tearing, spilling rice, or needing to use scissors to cut it open.

Below, we will show you a very useful tip to quickly untie the strings of a rice bag, cement bag, or similar bags without using scissors!

A Quick Way to Open the Stitching of a Rice Bag

There are usually two types of stitching on each face of the bag: single and double stitching.

Step 1 Stand the rice bag upright.

Step 2 To open the bag, turn the face of the rice bag with the single stitching towards you, then look at the right side of the bag, focusing on the last knot. You will see a thread sticking out.

Step 3 Grasp that thread and gently pull it out. The stitching will easily come undone.

The rice bag’s string is easily pulled out!

If the thread is knotted or frayed, simply cut the knot with scissors, and then you will be able to pull the thread out.

Use scissors to cut the end of the thread if it is knotted or frayed!

Note: If you are unable to untie the string after following steps 1 to 3, it is because you are trying to open the wrong end of the bag. Turn the bag upside down and start again from step 1.

We hope that with this shared experience, you can easily open bags such as rice or cement bags quickly and simply!

Frequently asked questions

Using a pair of scissors or a box cutter, carefully cut the top of the bag along the seam, close to the edge. This creates an opening to pour out the contents without tearing the bag haphazardly.

First, lay the bag flat on a surface. Find the end of the thread, usually at the bottom of the bag, and pull it gently to start unraveling. If you can’t find the end, cut the thread carefully with scissors, being mindful of the bag’s integrity. Once you have a length of thread, pull it upwards towards the top of the bag, and it should unravel smoothly.

Opening rice and cement bags carelessly can lead to spills and wastage. By taking a careful approach, you can ensure that the contents are fully utilized, and it also makes it easier to store and handle the products.

For stubborn threads, try using a blunt knife or a letter opener to gently pry the thread loose from the bag. Work your way slowly and carefully to avoid tearing the bag. You can also try cutting the thread in multiple places with scissors to weaken its hold on the bag, making it easier to unravel.

Yes, with careful opening and handling, these bags can be reused for storage or other purposes. Ensure that you fold or roll the top of the bag securely to prevent spillage if you’re storing similar products or use them for other storage needs.
