Abstract
Abstract A packaging material for photosensitive materials for photographic purposes which is a laminated film having light-shielding property and comprising, (a) a perforated film layer of a thermoplastic resin having a thickness of 7 to 150 μm, (b) a spunbonded nonwoven fabric layer laminated on an adhesive layer which penetrates holes of said perforated film, and (c) a low-pressure linear low-density polyethylene film layer containing more than 50 weight % of a low-pressure linear low-density polyethylene resin and being located as the inner surface layer. The packaging material of the invention is superior in the small difference in tear strength between longitudinal direction and lateral direction, in physical strength, in heat sealing properties and in light-shielding property. As a result, its thickness can appreciably be made thinner than the conventional packaging material, and its cost is lowered. This packaging material is usable for a weight photosensitive material and for a roll having a sharp edge.
