A lidding film comprising oriented polyethylene bonded to non-oriented polyethylene is disclosed. The oriented polyethylene may comprise a plurality of layers and the non-oriented polyethylene may comprise a plurality of layers, wherein the oriented polyethylene is bonded to the non-oriented polyethylene by extrusion coating or by a laminating adhesive. The oriented polyethylene comprises machine direction oriented polyethylene (MDO PE) or biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE). The lidding film may comprise from 1 to 15 wt. % of a polymer other than polyethylene, preferably the lidding film comprises no more than 5 wt. % of a polymer other than polyethylene. Also disclosed is a sealed container comprising a lidding film according to the invention and a polymer tray wherein the lidding film is heat sealed to the top edge of the polymer tray via the non-oriented polyethylene, thereby enclosing a product within a recess defined by the polymer tray. Also disclosed is a method of producing a lidding film.
