Abstract: A low-temperature heat-shrinkable film having a haze value not larger than 8%, a heat shrinkability in the machine direction at a temperature of 90.degree. C. of at least 30%, and a shrinkage stress of at least 300 g/mm.sup.2, is made from a composition comprising (a) a linear ethylene polymer containing short-chain branches and having a density not larger than 0.940 g/cm.sup.2 and (b) an ethylene/propylene random copolymer containing 3.5 to 10% by weigh of units derived from ethylene, wherein the proportion of the ethylene/propylene random copolymer in the composition is 15 to 50% by weight.

Abstract: A packing cloth comprising a woven or knitted fabric obtained by using, as at least a portion of either or both of warp and weft, thread or tape obtained by melt extrusion of a linear low-density ethylene polymer having a density of less than 0.945 g/cm.sup.3 and having a branched short chain, followed by stretching at a temperature of less than 120.degree. C. This packaging cloth has an improved tear strength and notch propagation resistance.
