I am not sure how to translate this term. I have found "mackle" but no context.
The text I am translating is a user manual for a packaging machine.
In the "reel block" section it lists the "zona de cegado macula".

see note
"macula" I`m pretty sure, is "eyemark". The "cegado" part I think refers to the part of the print which contains no marks for an electronic eye to read. Hence the blindness. See also my reply to your question on "macula".Just a suggestion.

seal
Your explanation makes me agree that "seal" is probably the best option, maybe "bag seal" or similar. It could well be a typo... Good luck!
Discussion
Anyway, the picture shown before this is a long line of already printed film or bag material (before being cut into bags) then next to this point "zona cegado macula" the manual shows a picture of the bag already cut (visualize a chip bag for example) and using arrows the image measures the distance between the center of the bag (the fattest part) and the top part of the bag, so I am thinking the part of the area that only has air. I really don't know, that is why I was thinking of just copping out and using "seal" but this is a manual and I want to be 100% sure.
Thanks again for your help.
