A heat-shrinkable multilayer material for packaging, in particular food
packaging, comprises a first layer made of heat-shrinkable material, a
microwave susceptible material covering at least a part of the first
layer, at least one second layer made of shrinkable or non-shrinkable
material, the first and second layer can be connected to each other by
embedding the microwave susceptible material, wherein the microwave
susceptible material is arranged in a pattern between the first and
second layer, the pattern creating areas of increased stiffness within
the multilayer material when microwave energy is applied onto.
