Machine-Friendly Handling USA | PET Films for Smooth Production
In today’s high-speed packaging and industrial environments, machine performance is everything. Films that slip, misfeed, or create dust can slow production, increase waste, and raise costs. That’s why converters and manufacturers across the USA turn to polyester (PET) films engineered for machine-friendly handling.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we specialize in films and converting services that optimize machinability. From high COF / low slip PET to versatile general-purpose industrial PET, every roll is prepared with precision through slitting and winding services. With over 100 years of USA-based expertise, PHC ensures films run cleanly, consistently, and efficiently—helping you get the most out of your production lines.
High COF / Low Slip PET Films
One of the biggest challenges in high-speed packaging is stability on the line. PHC provides high COF / low slip PET films designed to reduce unwanted sliding and improve stack control.
Applications include:
- Candy wrappers and confectionery films.
- Industrial laminates requiring controlled friction.
- Packaging lines where stability prevents misfeeds.
For USA converters, high COF PET films ensure consistent performance, reducing downtime and material loss.
General-Purpose Industrial PET for Versatility
Not every application requires specialized coatings. General-purpose industrial PET provides durability, flexibility, and stability across a wide range of uses. As a machine-friendly material, it is valued for:
- Dimensional stability.
- Resistance to heat and chemicals.
- Smooth machinability across converting lines.
From industrial laminations to protective packaging, this versatile PET is a go-to solution for USA manufacturers.
Precision Slitting for Line Stability
Poorly slit rolls can cause uneven feeding and costly stoppages. PHC delivers slitting services with tight tolerances and clean edges, ensuring PET rolls are machine-ready.
Benefits of precision slitting include:
- Smoother feeding into high-speed lines.
- Less dust and debris during converting.
- Greater consistency across production runs.
USA converters depend on PHC’s slitting expertise to keep operations efficient and waste-free.
Winding Services for Machine Compatibility
Roll conditioning is just as important as the film itself. PHC offers winding and rewinding services to deliver rolls in the exact tension, length, and core size needed for smooth operation. Properly wound rolls minimize machine interruptions and extend run times, giving USA manufacturers an edge in productivity.
