Abstract: The present invention relates to a layered packaging film for fresh produce. The film provides a water vapour transmission rate of at least 30 g m?2 per day, and includes a polymer layer with a sealing temperature of 205° C. or less. The present invention also provides a comprising fresh produce enclosed by a packaging film, wherein the packaging film is sealed by an elongate seal extending along the underside of the package, and wherein the elongate seal has a sealing strength such that when the packaging film is lifted from the upper side of the fresh produce package the seal breaks permitting the packaging film to be removed from the fresh produce in a single lifting action.
