Confectionery & Gift Wrap USA | PET Films for Packaging Excellence

Confectionery and gift wrap packaging in the USA is about more than just protection—it’s about presentation, performance, and consumer appeal. Whether wrapping chocolates, candy twists, or premium gift products, packaging films must deliver clarity, twistability, bond strength, and smooth converting at high speeds.

At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we supply a full portfolio of PET films tailored for confectionery and gift wrap applications. From twistable clear and metallized PET films to metallized high-bond PET and high COF / low slip PET, our materials are engineered for performance. Paired with advanced slitting services and access to PHC’s complete product range, USA converters and brand owners trust us to deliver packaging that meets both practical and aesthetic demands.


Twistable Clear & Metallized PET

One of the signature requirements of confectionery packaging is twistability. PHC provides twistable clear and metallized PET films designed for wrapping candies and chocolates that require a secure twist closure.

Benefits include:

  • High flex-crack resistance for repeated twisting.
  • Strong memory, keeping wraps sealed without adhesives.
  • Available in clear for visibility or metallized for a premium look.

These films combine functionality with visual appeal, making them a preferred choice for confectionery manufacturers across the USA.


Metallized High-Bond PET

Gift wrap and specialty packaging often demand superior adhesion and lamination strength. Metallized high-bond PET films are engineered to deliver exceptional bond strength in laminations, ensuring packages stay intact during handling, shipping, and display.

They are ideal for:

  • Premium gift wrap laminates.
  • Decorative foils.
  • High-performance flexible packaging requiring durable adhesion.

USA converters depend on these high-bond PET films to create packaging that balances visual brilliance with structural integrity.


High COF / Low Slip PET Films

In high-speed packaging environments, the coefficient of friction (COF) matters. PHC supplies high COF / low slip PET films that ensure stable stacking, controlled movement, and reliable machinability.

Applications include:

  • Candy wrappers that require stability on high-speed lines.
  • Gift packaging films that avoid slipping during handling.
  • Laminates where controlled friction is critical.

For USA manufacturers, these films reduce waste and downtime, increasing efficiency and ensuring consistent quality.


Precision Slitting for Clean Converting

Confectionery and gift wrap packaging often runs at extremely high line speeds. To support this, PHC provides advanced slitting services that deliver clean edges and precise roll widths. Proper slitting ensures films feed smoothly into machines, minimizing breaks, wrinkles, and stoppages.

By combining premium films with expert slitting, PHC helps USA converters maximize throughput and maintain quality packaging production.
