8 Reasons Why Poly Woven Block Bottom Valve Bags are Great for Deer Corn
It’s Deer Season, and Southern Packaging is here to support your packaging needs with premium quality poly valve bags for deer corn and wildlife feed.
What is an AD*STAR Block Bottom Woven Poly Valve Bag?
A woven poly “block bottom” or “valve” bag is a common industrial packaging style designed to package a wide variety of dry flowable products. Valve bags are packed on equipment that deposits material into the bag via horizontal filling spout. After filling, forces generated by the product inside the bag allow the valve opening to self-seal.
Valve bags can be made with paper, woven poly, or poly film. AD*STAR® block bottom woven valve bags are made by extruding polypropylene resin into sheets, cutting the sheets into tapes, and weaving the tapes into tubular fabric. The tubular fabric is then laminated, cut, and converted into a finished bag. AD*STAR® valve bags offer several functional advantages over traditional multi-wall paper bags.

The trade name AD*STAR® is a registered trademark of Starlinger & Co GmbH. Starlinger Company is a world-renowned manufacturer of woven packaging and textile machinery. The name is protected around the world. Today over 10 billion AD*STAR woven black bottom valve bags are produced each year.

How are AD*STAR Woven Poly Bags Manufactured?
Starlinger Company supplies integrated bag converting machinery to produce the woven valve bag from start to finish. Production steps include:
Tape Extrusion: High-strength tapes are produced by stretching after the resin extruding process.
Weaving: Tapes are woven into tear-proof fabric in circular looms.
Coating: A thin layer of PP film is laminated to the woven fabric.
Printing: Up to 8 colors, including photorealistic quality graphics can be printed on the bag fabric
Slitting: Top, bottom, and valve patches are pre-cut for the converting line.
Converting: Using Starlinger machines, sacks are assembled by forming the block bottom and applying patches and the valve using hot air sealing technology. No glue is used to seal the bag.
Baling: Bags are palletized and baled. Up to 7,000 bags can be baled in a single pallet
