In the competitive U.S. food packaging market, metallized PET film has emerged as one of the most effective and reliable solutions. Combining the strength of polyester with a thin layer of metal coating, metallized PET provides excellent barrier protection, making it the material of choice for American food brands looking to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation, headquartered in Greer, SC, we have been supplying and converting polyester films since 1904. Our metallized PET films are engineered for performance, compliance, and efficiency — tailored to the needs of U.S. manufacturers.
Why Metallized PET Film Stands Out
Superior Barrier Properties
Metallized PET film provides outstanding resistance to oxygen, moisture, and light — three of the most common threats to food quality. This ensures longer shelf life and better product integrity.
Lightweight & Cost-Effective
Compared to alternative barrier films, metallized PET delivers high performance at lower material cost and reduced shipping weight.
Visual Appeal for U.S. Retailers
The metallic sheen enhances product appearance on store shelves, a key factor in the competitive American grocery market.
