BON + PET Laminations USA | High-Performance Packaging Films
Modern packaging in the USA demands a balance of durability, flexibility, and barrier protection. One of the most effective solutions is BON + PET laminations, combining the mechanical strength of biax oriented nylon (BON) with the barrier performance of polyester films. This hybrid approach delivers packaging that resists punctures, maintains freshness, and performs across high-speed converting lines.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we specialize in supplying and converting BON and PET films for advanced packaging applications. With options like metallized PET for reflective barrier properties and PVDC-coated PET for moisture and oxygen resistance, our laminations help USA brands achieve the shelf life, safety, and presentation their products demand. Backed by precision slitting services and over 100 years of expertise, PHC ensures laminations are delivered to exact specifications.
Why Combine BON and PET in Laminations?
Each material brings unique strengths:
- BON (Biax Oriented Nylon): Excellent toughness, puncture resistance, and flexibility. Ideal for products that need protection against sharp edges or rough handling.
- PET (Polyester Film): Superior barrier properties, dimensional stability, and compatibility with coatings or metallization.
When laminated together, BON + PET films create structures that outperform single-material films. This combination is widely used in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, pet food, and other high-value applications across the USA.
Metallized PET for Barrier & Shelf Life
One of the most effective enhancements in BON + PET laminations is metallized PET. By depositing a thin layer of aluminum onto PET film, metallization adds superior protection against light, oxygen, and moisture. This ensures products like snacks, coffee, and powders stay fresh longer.
The reflective surface of metallized PET also adds premium aesthetics, giving packaging a modern, eye-catching look while delivering critical performance.
PVDC-Coated PET for High Sensitivity Applications
For products requiring maximum protection, PHC supplies PVDC-coated PET as part of lamination structures. The PVDC coating creates an outstanding barrier against oxygen and water vapor, making it ideal for packaging meats, dairy, and pharmaceuticals.
By combining BON’s toughness with PVDC-coated PET’s barrier properties, converters in the USA achieve laminations that handle both physical stress and sensitive product protection.
Precision Slitting for Lamination Widths
Packaging laminations are only as good as their converting. PHC provides advanced slitting services to deliver BON + PET rolls in the exact widths needed for lamination. Precision slitting ensures:
- Reduced waste during lamination.
- Better machine runnability.
- Consistent roll performance at high speeds.
For USA converters, PHC’s slitting services guarantee laminations arrive press-ready, saving both time and material.
