Abstract
Abstract A laminated packaging film useful in producing such items as pouches and containers for liquids, comprises an outer layer of balanced biaxially oriented thermoplastic polymer, a middle layer of flexible metal foil, an inner layer of heat-sealable, rubber modified high density polyethylene, or ethylene copolymer and an adhesive layer between the middle and inner layers. The pouches and containers formed by this film are exceptionally strong, durable and flexible.
