The PP*STAR® concept, featuring side gussets and pinch bottom, is produced on the pp*starKON, the world’s first pinch bottom bag conversion line for woven PP.
The pp*starKON processes flat fabric into open-mouth pinch bottom bags with side gussets and a stepped cut. The pinch bottom is closed inline with a special glue, while on the pinch top reactive glue is pre-applied. This allows fast and clean sealing during the filling process. The heat-sealing guarantees good closure against external agents.
The PP*STAR® can be supplied with different opening features. The PP*STAR® bag length ranges from 500 – 1070 mm and the bag width is anywhere between 250 and 480 mm.

A lightweight champion:
PP*STAR® is an exceptionally lightweight form of packaging, made of a BOPP/fabric composite. The fabric is woven from extruded stretched polypropylene tapes, bonded by a 20 µm thin PP tie layer to a 20 µm PP film bearing high quality reverse printing.
An average woven bag with a specific weight of 110 g/m² measures around 600 x 400 x 130 mm and weighs only 94 g. In comparison, a three-layer paper bag of the same size would weigh approx. 230 g.
This BOPP fabric composite is the ideal basis for high-strength, lightweight packaging that is also tear-resistant and appealing to the eye.
