Abstract: A film, for use in a label and a related method, including a print skin layer, a base layer, and an adhesive skin layer having at least one heat-activated thermoplastic polymer. The film is stretched biaxially in both a machine direction and a transverse direction. The stretch ratio in a first direction is greater than 2:1 to 10:1, the stretch ratio in a second direction ranges in value from 1.02:1 to 1.8:1, the film has an ASTM D1204 shrinkage at 100° C. of at least 0.5% in both the machine and transverse directions, and the film has an ASTM D882 2% secant modulus of at least 679,134 kPa (98,500 psi) in the first direction.

Abstract: An in-mold label film comprises a core layer and a heat seal layer wherein an inner surface of the heat seal layer overlies the core layer, wherein the heat seal layer is foamed and the outer surface of the heat seal layer is rough. The inventive film has performance advantages and is useful in an in-mold labeling process for labeling a plastic article such as a container.

Abstract: An in-mold label film comprises a core layer and a heat seal layer wherein the heat seal layer comprises a very low density polyethylene and a high density polyethylene. The inventive film is useful in providing a method of in-mold labeling an article, a labeled article and a method to improve handleability of an in-mold label film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a halogen-free, multilayered, uniaxially oriented heat shrink film comprising (A) a core layer comprising a blend of polyolefins; (B) a first skin layer on the upper surface of the core layer, and (C) a second skin layer on the lower surface of the core layer, wherein the first and second skin layers independently comprise a polyolefin blend and wherein the shrinkage of the film is at least about 40% in the machine direction at 270° F. The present invention further relates to a label having an adhesive applied to at least a portion of at least one of the skin layers of the multilayered heat shrink film. The heat shrink labels of the present invention are used to encapsulate articles.
