Star-shaped multi-tip tablet punches combine the visual appeal of star-shaped tablets with the production efficiency of multi-tip tooling. Instead of producing one star tablet per compression cycle, multi-tip configurations produce 2, 3, or more star tablets simultaneously.
EMMKAY INDUSTRIES manufactures precision star multi-tip punches for confectionery, candy, and nutraceutical manufacturers who need high-volume production of star-shaped tablets. Read our multi-tip punches guide for a full overview of configurations and output calculations.
Star Multi-Tip Configurations
| Tablet Diameter | Max Tips |
|---|---|
| 5mm | 3 – 4 tips |
| 6 – 7mm | 2 – 3 tips |
| 7 – 11mm | 2 tips |
Star shapes require keyed punches to maintain the correct orientation during compression. Each tip is precisely aligned so that all star tablets produced in a single cycle are identical. See our tooling quality guide for what to inspect when receiving multi-tip tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can star multi-tip punches work with my existing tablet press?
Yes. Star multi-tip punches fit standard D tooling or B tooling tablet presses without modification. Read our multi-tip punches guide for full compatibility details.
How many star tablets can I produce per hour with multi-tip tooling?
Output depends on your press speed and number of tips. A 3-tip configuration on a 45-station press running at 30 RPM produces approximately 243,000 star tablets per hour. See our round multi-tip page for a detailed output comparison table, or read the multi-tip punches guide for full calculations.
Can I combine moon and star multi-tip punches on the same press?
Yes. Moon multi-tip and star multi-tip punches can be loaded on different stations of the same press, producing both shapes simultaneously. Alternatively, see our star and moon combination tooling for a single-punch approach.
