Starlinger | Austria

Based on its long experience in the field of woven plastic packaging, engineering company Starlinger has developed a packaging solution cut to the needs of the pet food industry.

Safe packaging solutions

A provider of machinery and process technology for woven plastic packaging production and plastics recycling and refinement, Starlinger focuses on packaging product development and offers packaging solutions for a wide range of industry applications.

To ensure that pet food and nutritional supplements do not spoil or are infested by insects, a protective packaging solution is required for transport and storage. The patented PP*STAR® pinch bottom bags provide safe and attractive packaging for all types of dry pet food.

Consisting of polypropylene or PET tape fabric covered with reverse printed BOPP/OPET film, PP*STAR pinch bottom bags are exceptionally lightweight, tear-resistant, and at the same time hygienic and appealing to the eye. Even more important, PP*STAR bags have an excellent aroma and grease barrier which makes them perfect for packaging pet food with high grease content. And being a single-material packaging solution, they are also 100% recyclable.

From bottle to bag

Produced from rPET pellets or directly from PET bottle flakes, rPET PP*STAR bags offer a sustainable packaging alternative for all pet food producers who want to contribute their share to reducing waste and CO2 emissions. Food-safety is guaranteed thanks to Starlinger PET decontamination technology.

Through its focus on technological research as well as continuous machine and product development, Starlinger has become a world leader in the field of woven packaging. With the focus on high-precision production as well as reduced raw material and energy consumption, packaging producers benefit from low production costs and the high production efficiency of the company’s machinery.

Starlinger supports customers with comprehensive knowledge and experience, both technologically and with regard to markets and applications. As a family-owned enterprise established in 1835, it places a high value on long-term success not only for its own company, but for its clients as well.
