In the tubular film 3, a plurality of communication holes 4 communicating between an inside and an outside are formed. Band-shaped portions 7 and 8 are formed between the communication holes 4 adjacent to each other. A wide-width portion and a narrow portion are not generated in the band-shaped portions 7 and 8.
