Founded by World War II refugees Joseph and Irene Kaufman, Star Poly Bag began modestly, with just one machine for plain plastic bags and one enhancement—side and bottom gussets—and served primarily the neighborhood where the company was (and still is) based. Star Poly Bag has since grown in size and product offerings. First headquartered in a rented loft at 390 Berry Street in Brooklyn, the company moved ten years later to its own building located at 94 North 13th Street. Today, its impressive customer roster spans multiple industries, including financial institutions, retailers, food manufacturers, medical providers, government agencies, security organizations, and others, throughout the United States.

Now in its third generation of family ownership, Star Poly Bag offers poly bag solution for every imaginable use:

· Autoclave bags
· Bio-hazards bags
· Die-cut handle bags
· Draw string bags
· Drum liners
· Evidence bags
· Garmet plastic rolls
· Laminated bags
· Mailer bags
· Packaging and custom bags
· Patient belonging/clothing bags
· Security bags (coin and currency)
· Sequentially numbered bags with tear-off tracking receipts
· Specimen transport bags
· Staple pack bags
· T-shirt bags
· Tamper evident bags
· Wicketed bags
· Zip-lock bags

With two manufacturing facilities in Brooklyn, New York, Star Poly offers printing options of up to eight colors on both sides. With the company’s staff of experts ready to assist in design efforts, as well, Star Poly Bag customers enjoy enormous flexibility and ease when developing and implementing creative poly bag solutions.

In the nearly half a century since Star Poly Bag was founded, the poly bag industry has experienced remarkable change. Manufacturing processes have improved and countless innovations and efficiencies have since been introduced. And, through it all, Star Poly Bag has remained ahead of the curve as it continues to anticipate and meet customer needs.

One notable industry-wide change has been the number of suppliers and customers turning to overseas manufacturers for their poly bag needs. Indeed, over time, Star Poly has seen many of its competitors close their doors. Star Poly Bag, however, proudly maintains all operations in the United States, choosing to keep jobs here in America. Loyal customers agree that the Star Poly Bag difference is unparalleled focus on the highest levels of service and guaranteed product satisfaction, including overnight delivery and the ability to keep even specialized orders in-stock for immediate turnaround in the future.

As a minority and female owned and operated company, it is particularly gratifying for Star Poly Bag to enjoy exponential growth in its business while providing employment and career opportunities for many.

Star Poly Bag is currently meeting demand its founders could not have dreamed of. Serving all industries, coast to coast, the company can meet any poly bag requirement. From custom combinations (such as bottom gusset with tamper-proof zip-lock) to innovative design (all-in-one food take-out bags that eliminate the need for individual food containers), to the popular standards of today, Star Poly Bag’s goal is simple…to help you reach yours.
