Converting Stack USA | Precision PET Film Services
In packaging, industrial, and specialty applications, the performance of PET films depends not only on the material itself but also on how it’s converted. Precision slitting, sheeting, winding, and toll converting allow films to be customized for exact production requirements, improving efficiency, reducing waste, and ensuring consistent results.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we provide a complete converting stack of services for USA manufacturers and converters. Our capabilities include slitting, sheeting, winding and rewinding, and toll converting. Backed by over 100 years of experience, PHC ensures PET films arrive in the precise formats needed to power high-speed production lines.
Slitting for Precision Widths
One of the most critical converting processes is slitting. By cutting jumbo rolls into narrower widths, PHC delivers PET films tailored to customer specifications. Our slitting lines are designed for:
- Clean edges that prevent breaks and dust.
- Precise tolerances for machine compatibility.
- Consistency across long production runs.
For USA converters, precision slitting improves machine uptime, reduces material waste, and supports efficient packaging production.
Sheeting for Print-Ready Formats
When films are needed in sheets instead of rolls, PHC provides advanced sheeting services. We transform PET rolls into uniform sheets ready for printing, laminating, or die-cutting.
Applications include:
- Graphic arts and signage.
- Die-cut lids for food packaging.
- Specialty industrial parts.
Sheeting ensures films are delivered in ready-to-use formats, improving productivity for USA printing and converting operations.
Winding & Rewinding for Roll Customization
Film performance depends on more than just dimensions—roll format matters too. PHC offers winding and rewinding services to adjust tension, core sizes, and roll lengths. This ensures that films run smoothly on customer equipment without interruptions.
Benefits include:
- Customized roll lengths for efficiency.
- Improved winding quality to reduce breaks.
- Compatibility with high-speed production lines.
For USA converters, winding and rewinding services mean films are delivered exactly as needed, ready to perform.
Toll Converting: Your Material, Our Lines
Not every manufacturer wants to outsource film supply, but many need help with precision converting. PHC provides toll converting services, where customers supply the material and we run it through our advanced lines for slitting, sheeting, coating, or winding.
This service supports USA manufacturers by:
- Reducing in-house equipment costs.
- Improving converting precision.
- Minimizing waste and scrap.
Toll converting is the flexible, sustainable option for companies that want to maximize their material’s value.
