German term or phrase: Wulst
A Wulst, in this context, is the reinforced edge (upper or lower is unclear) of a polypropylene mailbag. It is made by folding the edge of the fabric back down over a small piece of rope and sewing that fabric down. I can picture this exactly but am sure that there is a technical term for it.

This gets the points because it led me to the translation I decided on - enclosed seam. As the cord in your picture is visible I decided against it in my case because the cord in the mail bag is actually enclosed in the stitched-down seam. Thanks to all who responded.
