Print Laminate PET Films USA | PET Films for Packaging & Graphics
In competitive packaging and graphics, success comes down to three things: print quality, lamination strength, and production efficiency. USA converters and brand owners need films that deliver vibrant color, strong bonds, and smooth machinability. Polyester (PET) films, engineered with the right coatings and treatments, ensure every package and label looks professional while running cleanly on converting lines.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we supply PET films tailored for printing and laminating success. Our portfolio includes flexographic printing colors for sharp graphics, corona-treated PET for surface energy control, and acrylic-coated PET for durable adhesion. Supported by precision slitting services and fast USA-based support, PHC helps converters print, laminate, and win.
Flexographic Printing Colors
Printing on PET requires inks formulated for adhesion and clarity. PHC provides flexographic printing colors designed to deliver high-density, consistent results on treated films.
Benefits include:
- Bright, durable colors.
- Compatibility with high-speed flexo presses.
- Strong adhesion to corona and acrylic-coated PET.
For USA converters, these inks ensure packaging and labels stand out while performing on press.
Corona-Treated PET for Surface Energy
Ink adhesion depends on surface energy. PHC supplies corona-treated PET films engineered to improve bonding with inks, adhesives, and coatings.
Applications include:
- Labels and packaging requiring strong adhesion.
- Laminates with multi-layer structures.
- Graphics printed with flexo, gravure, or digital inks.
Corona-treated PET ensures reliable print performance across USA printing and laminating lines.
Acrylic-Coated PET for Lamination Strength
For demanding applications, PHC offers acrylic-coated PET. This coating improves adhesion in laminates while maintaining transparency and durability.
Applications include:
- Window packaging requiring scratch resistance.
- Laminated food and beverage structures.
- Graphic overlays where bond strength is critical.
Converters in the USA rely on acrylic-coated PET to create packaging that looks sharp and lasts.
Precision Slitting for Production Efficiency
Even the best PET films need precision converting to perform. PHC provides slitting services to deliver rolls cut to exact widths, with clean edges for smooth feeding into high-speed presses and laminators.
For USA converters, precision slitting reduces waste, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent performance.
