Abstract

Abstract A stretched film having excellent printing and writing properties and mechanical strength is produced by stretching a film molded from a styrene-grafted polyolefin resin in at least one direction. The styrene-grafted polyolefin resin is produced by heating an aqueous suspension containing 100 parts by weight of polyolefin resin particles, from 10 to 400 parts by weight of a styrene monomer, and a free radical polymerization initiator in an amount of from 0.01 to 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the styrene monomer.
