Abstract: The present invention for the first time proposes a multilayer sheet- or tube-type food casing or food film produced by the nozzle blast-drawing process and biaxially oriented by the triple-bubble process, which is fashioned as a food packaging having the form of shrink bags, sealable films, wrapping films or the like. This novel food casing or food film comprises at least nine layers of which an EVOH layer has the form of an oxygen barrier symmetrically embedded between two PA layers intended to impart strength and in turn symmetrically enclosed by two PO layers for the water vapor barrier, and wherein the external layer is formed by a highly temperature-resistant material such as PET which on top of its excellent optical properties also enables clearly higher speeds for further processing (cycle numbers) than were previously known.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel multilayered plane or tubular food package casings or films for foodstuff packages, such as sausage casings or the like, having a lamination structure of at least six, preferably at least seven layers.
