A polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable film for pack-in box packaging, in which: a product is not damaged due to breakage or looseness of a film during packaging and transportation of the product; because of the low-temperature shrink characteristic, the product is not exposed to excessively high heat during shrink wrapping and power consumption in a shrink tunnel can be reduced; and because of a small thickness of the film, garbage and other wastes can be reduced. The film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging obtained by biaxial orientation in MD and TD and stretching in MD only further after biaxial orientation. Preferably, the film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging in which the film as a whole has a thickness of 25 μm or less.

A packaging material for packaging of light-sensitive goods, said packaging material comprising a first layer and a second layer, at least one hole penetrating said first layer and being covered by said second layer, and a light barrier, wherein said light barrier comprises a layer of ink being essentially nontransparent to light and provided on said second layer to at least partly cover said hole. The disclosure further relates to a method for providing a light barrier covering a hole in a packaging material as well as to a package for packaging of light-sensitive goods.

An aseptic pillow packaging bag and a laminated resin film that can be preferably used to produce the packaging bag. The laminated resin film includes a center layer that has a first surface provided with an inner surface layer, and a second surface provided with an outer surface layer. In the laminated resin film, the inner surface layer is a first multilayer film made of linear low density polyethylene, including two or more films selected from C6L-LDPE and/or C8L-LDPE, the center layer is a nylon-based film, or a barrier nylon film, and the outer surface layer is formed by laminating a medium density polyethylene film onto a low density polyethylene film or a medium density polyethylene film with a nylon film interposed therebetween.

Described herein is flooring formed of an eco-friendly material, where the flooring has excellent heat resistance, durability, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability, and is formed of a non-PVC material and thus is recyclable via an extrusion processing at the time of disposal after use. Specifically, eco-friendly flooring is described in which a coating layer, an overlayer having ionomers, a printing layer, at least one middle layer, and at least one underlayer are laminated in order, where the overlayer of the flooring has ionomers, at least one of the middle layer and the underlayer has a thermoplastic polyolefin-based resin, a styrene-based resin, oil, and a filler, the thermoplastic polyolefin-based resin is contained in an amount of 50 to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the styrene-based resin, and the styrene-based resin may contain 25 to 45% styrene.

Embodiments disclosed herein include multilayer films having at least an outer layer that includes 1) polyethylene elastomer and 2) ULDPE or VLDPE and that has a purge fraction greater than 20 percent as determined by Crystallization Elution Fractionation (CEF) test method. Embodiments disclosed herein also include related compositions to make such films and methods of making such films. The ULDPE or VLDPE can be made via Ziegler-Natta catalyst reaction techniques to provide the desired purge fraction.

An easy peel sealant film includes at least a support layer and a peel layer. The support layer has a composition which contains 100 to 70 mass % of a linear low-density polyethylene, and 0 to 30 mass % of a propylene homopolymer.
