INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
This manual is intended to contribute to your success in manufacturing

film laminated AD*STAR® bags.
Producing film laminated AD*STAR bags offers several benefits over

conventional AD*STAR bags, such as:
 premium appearance
 higher bag stiffness
 ability for full surface printing
 scratch-resistant printing (in case of reverse printed film)
 improved WVTR (moisture barrier)
 wide range of surface CoF values
The following chapters will provide you with an insight on required raw
materials, processing guidelines, limitations, quality requirements and
useful hints.
STARLINGER & Co. Gesellschaft m.b.H.

This document contains additional pictograms with various purposes.

The following table provides information on the pictograms which are
used and their meaning:
General warning
Important information
Before work on the plant/machine, the operation manual must be read

and known.
The AD*STAR® Handbook does not replace the operation manual.
The diagrams are example images, which may deviate from your
project slightly, depending on the particular application.
Safety regulations and safety instructions from the operation manual /
documentation must be followed without exception!

1.Mode of operations
1 MODE OF OPERATION
Depending on market demands, availability of raw material as well

as different film printing technologies, it has been necessary to
develop different modes of laminating wPP with film (e.g. BOPP,
CPP). The most significant solutions are listed as follows:
1.1 Flat wPP laminated with flat film

The combination of flat wPP laminated with flat film is the most
common way of joining film to wPP.
1.1.1 Pros & Cons
advantage disadvantage
ability to print across the lateral need of fabric cutting device in

bag edges circular looms
need of additional tubing process
no need of register control
(additional machine)
no need of ceramic electrodes for need of longitudinal back seam
corona device (risk of bag breakage)
no over-coating on bag (coating
fins)
perfect alignment of front to
back side print

1.3 Circular wPP laminated with two flat films

The combination of circular wPP laminated with two flat films is
mainly due to limited availability of wide width films in certain
regions. In this case two narrow films are used, one for front side
and the other one for the back side of the tube.
1.3.1 Pros & Cons:
need of two individual unwinder
no need of tubing process (machine has to be stopped for
roll change)
risk of small variations in
no need of fabric cutting device alignment of front to back side
in circular looms print (depending on film
elongation)
need of ceramic electrodes for
no longitudinal back seam

2.Lamination process
2 LAMINATION PROCESS
Depending on market demands, film structures, types of printing

technology as well as composition of printing inks different
lamination procedures are being performed.
2.1 lamination without co-extruder and without special
ink tie layer
2.1.1 layer structure
This structure is typically used for laminating surface printed film or
film with embedded print hence the print is not in contact with the
tie layer. Another typical application is reversed printed rotogravure
printing which uses inks that provide adhesion to PP. (e.g. vinyl-
based inks)
surface print embedded print
reverse print rotogravure
suggested tie layer application

weight: 20-30 gsm

2.1.2 Pros & Cons:

Advantage disadvantage
no need of Co-Extruder and no scratch-resistance of print
feedblock (surface print)
expensive film structure (embedded
no need of special ink tie layer
print)
solvent system prohibited in North
America and Europe (e.g. vinyl-
based inks)

3. Lamination of AD*STAR® patches
3 LAMINATION OF AD*STAR® PATCHES
3.1 Lamination of patches without ink tie layer

In case of patch lamination without ink tie layer the front and back
side lamination process can be done in one step. Hence the flat wPP
will be laminated both sides via the turning bar and the film can be
attached to one side of the wPP at the same time.
wPP front & back side lamination in one step:
image 8
3.2 Lamination of patches with ink tie layer

In case of patch lamination with ink tie layer the front and back side
lamination process has to be executed in two steps. In the first step
one side of the wPP will be lamination coated with a standard coating
material blend of 85% PP + 15% LDPE. In the second step the wPP roll
will be laminated with the film using the ink tie layer to ensure proper
bonding strength.

5. Settings
4 SETTINGS
 Clean CORONA station frequently according to the

surroundings.
 Suction system (attention: flow switch in pipe)
 Set CORONA pre-treatment in a way to achieve 38 and 42
[dyn]
 Distance of ceramic electrodes to counter roller max. 2mm
 Distance of steel electrodes to counter roller max. 1.8mm
 Ceramic counter roller (use cleaning fluid only).
 Adjust the safety device for the CORONA electrodes exactly,
otherwise it will not work correctly.
 Coating edge/ fin should not exceed 5 mm on each side,
otherwise problems with the bottom fold will occur on the
conversion machine.
 Recommended chill roll temperature between 25° and 30°C.
 The lamination and film thickness should be the same on the
patches and on the main fabric.
 The melt curtain should not exceed the lateral edge of the
BOPP film, when using a special ink tie layer (Lotader)
 Positioning and calibration of print mark sensors
 Specification of print mark – tec. SPEC
 It is not recommended to refeed printed BOPP-Edgetrim

5. AD*STAR® Quality
5 AD*STAR® QUALITY
A very important factor for success with AD*STAR is to check and

maintain the quality of all intermediate products on a regular basis.
 Carry out all the tests according to STARLINGER’s Laboratory
Handbook.
Chapter No. 5.2 “general advice, testing frequency”, gives some clues
for the implementation of the tests and what should be considered
during production. The frequency with which the tests should be
carried out is specified. Furthermore some forms are attached that
should be used to fill in the results of the tests. The filled form should
accompany the product from the first intermediate product to the final
product. This system guarantees good quality of the final product. It
helps to locate and minimise faults.

needle density, the penetration intensity and the
condition of needle sleeves and counter roller,
therefore, regular maintenance is essential.

requirements.)

Table 22
5.2 General advice, testing frequency

5.2.1 Raw material
 Visual check of the material at delivery (kind of packing) and
during filling into the dosing system.
 Check for: Moisture content, contamination.
 If there is a high possibility of contamination in the factory
(sand, dust) preventive steps should be taken.
5.2.2 Printed, laminated fabric
 Quality control check once per roll.
 The appearance has to be checked visually (e.g. roll quality
and diameter).
 During production on the coating line it is necessary to watch
for correct adjustment of the edge cutting device.
 Quality of printing has to be compared with the original
sample or photograph.
 Printing ink adhesion (tape test) in case of surface print only
5.2.3 Converted bag
 Quality control checks (full lab report) after each 2000 bags at
the beginning, afterwards it can be decreased to a frequency
of 4000 bags or more. (At the beginning it is very important
that the quality control is working well).
 Visual check of bag geometry (permanent)
 Check whether the valve is open. (permanent)
 Area of welding: Make sure that the hot air welding system is
adjusted correctly – see owner’s manual of the ad*starKON
conversion line. This affects the impact area of the hot air.
 Air permeability test
