Easy-Open for pet food sacks
PP*STAR® pinch bottom bags, developed by the division Starlinger consumer bags and made from a lightweight, tear-resistant BOPP and fabric composite, can now be produced with an Easy-Open strip. PP*STAR® sacks are mainly used in consumer goods packaging for dry bulk products such as pet foods and animal care products, e.g. dry dog food or cat litter, but also for fertilizer, grains or rice. The new opening feature makes discharging the bag contents even more quick and easy.
