Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoplastic film, suitable for use as a top film in vacuum skin packaging, which comprises at least an outer sealant layer a), comprising at least a sealable polymer and a second layer a?) adhered thereto, wherein the outer sealant layer a) or the outer sealant layer a) together with the second layer a?) adhered thereto, comprise greater than 0.10% by weight of a slip agent. Advantageously, the film and the vacuum skin packaging using the film, require lower temperatures for an effective sealing of the top to the bottom and thus prevent the deformation of the bottom support.
