Lidding & Peelable Seals USA | PET Films for Secure & Functional Packaging
Food safety and convenience are top priorities in modern packaging. Lidding films and peelable seals play a critical role in protecting products, extending shelf life, and enhancing the consumer experience. For USA manufacturers and converters, polyester (PET) films offer the perfect balance of durability, sealability, and clarity—helping brands deliver packaging that works as well in production as it does for customers at home.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we supply PET films specifically designed for lidding and sealing applications. Our portfolio includes heat-sealable PET for reliable closures, metallized PET for barrier performance, and precision sheeting services for die-cut lids. With advanced corona treating and over 100 years of converting expertise, PHC delivers solutions trusted across the USA food, beverage, and healthcare industries.
Heat-Sealable PET for Reliable Closures
The foundation of lidding solutions is secure sealing. PHC provides heat-sealable PET films engineered with sealant layers that bond quickly and consistently under heat. These films ensure tamper-evident packaging and are compatible with high-speed sealing equipment.
Applications include:
- Yogurt cups and dairy products.
- Ready meals and frozen foods.
- Pharmaceutical blister packaging.
For USA brands, heat-sealable PET films provide peace of mind—keeping products fresh and protected while ensuring consumer safety.
Metallized PET for Barrier Protection
When lidding requires both protection and appearance, metallized PET films deliver. By adding a reflective aluminum layer, metallized PET enhances barrier performance against oxygen, light, and moisture, extending shelf life for sensitive products.
Metallized PET also provides a premium aesthetic, making lidding and peelable seals more visually appealing on store shelves. From snacks to specialty beverages, USA converters depend on metallized PET to combine function with presentation.
Sheeting Services for Die-Cut Lids
Precision matters in lidding. PHC offers sheeting services that convert PET films into die-cut lids ready for production. By delivering consistent sheet dimensions and clean edges, we help converters achieve high-speed efficiency and reduce downtime.
This service is especially valuable for USA food manufacturers requiring uniform lidding for dairy cups, single-serve meals, and beverage containers.
Corona Treating for Print & Adhesion
For lidding films that need to be printed or laminated, surface energy must be optimized. PHC provides corona treating services to prepare PET films for inks, coatings, and adhesives.
Benefits include:
- Improved print quality.
- Stronger laminate bonding.
- Reliable performance across converting processes.
By ensuring adhesion, corona treating helps USA converters create lidding solutions that are both functional and visually striking.
