The present invention relates to oriented or hot-blown shrink films which may
be manufactured from by a number of processes. The oriented films may be manufactured
by double bubble, LISIM, tape bubble, trapped bubble or tenter framing processes.
The films of the present invention are useful as a shrink film to package and label
a variety of products. The films exhibit a high degree of MD shrinkage in a very
controlled and consistent manner while providing a number of other positive characteristics
such as optical clarity, puncture and abrasion resistance, controlled gauge, and
superior web winding and handling characteristics. The shrink control layers of
the films of the present invention contain a modifier component selected from plastomers
and/or metallocene catalyzed ethylene-propylene copolymers and blends thereof.
