Starrmax Packaging

Starrmax Packaging is a custom polyethylene film and bag manufacturer based in Wheeling, Illinois, strategically located in the Midwest near the intersection of I-90. The company specializes in the production of plastic bags, rolls, films, and sheeting using a variety of materials tailored to meet specific customer requirements across commercial and industrial markets. As a vertically integrated operation, Starrmax controls the full production process in-house — from resin extrusion through converting — providing customers with shorter lead times, tighter scheduling control, and competitive pricing on high-quality flexible packaging products.

The company serves a broad range of end markets including food packaging, retail packaging, industrial packaging, merchandise packaging, and pharmaceutical packaging. Its product lineup includes poly bags, poly tubing, poly sheeting, and BioMax stock liners, as well as a stock inventory program for customers with recurring needs. Starrmax extrudes its own poly film from raw resin pellets, which are melted under controlled conditions before being formed into finished packaging materials. The converting operation is equipped with an extensive line of bagging machines capable of producing a wide variety of bag styles and formats available in the market today.

Beyond standard manufacturing, Starrmax offers design and layout assistance, including color breakdowns, making it a resource for customers who need support from concept through production. The company's combined staff experience exceeds 100 years in the packaging industry, enabling them to engage meaningfully with customers at every phase of a project. Its geographic position in the Midwest makes it a practical and cost-effective supply partner for businesses located anywhere across the United States.

Starrmax Packaging holds SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification, underscoring its commitment to food safety standards and making it a qualified supplier for food and pharmaceutical packaging applications. The company also offers recyclable and biodegradable product options, including materials that can be consumed by microorganisms and broken down into CO2, water, and biomass. With multiple extrusion lines capable of handling jobs of any scale, Starrmax positions itself as a one-stop shop for custom flexible packaging needs, combining in-house resin sourcing, extrusion, printing, and converting under one roof.
