The present disclosure relates to crystallizable shrinkable films and thermoformable film(s) or sheet(s) comprising blends of polyester compositions which comprise residues of terephthalic acid, neopentyl glycol (NRG), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), ethylene glycol (EG), and diethylene glycol (DEG), in certain compositional ranges having certain advantages and improved properties.

A double-layer polyester film is of a structure having upper and lower layers. Each of the upper and lower layers comprises a copolyester and an additional resin, and is a uniform mixture of the copolyester and the additional resin. The copolyester comprises SiO.sub.2 having a mass fraction of 800-2000 ppm added by means of in-situ polymerization. The copolyester is a PET polyester modified by copolymerization of isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and neopentyl glycol. The polyester film has thinner thickness, good thermal adhesion with a metal sheet, excellent resistance to deep drawing and complex deformation processing, and excellent corrosion resistance, and can be widely used in metal packaging industry.

A method for manufacturing a thermoplastic composite product includes: providing a first and second thermoplastic composite component made from a consolidated stack of thermoplastic composite plies, said first and second component having a first and second ply drop off, respectively. The first and second components are positioned such that the first ply drop off and the second ply drop off are aligned, and the first and second components are fixedly connected by means of heating. The stacks of plies for the first and second components are constructed by stacking the plies in a stacking direction wherein the plies are arranged such that plies at a different position along the stacking direction are laterally offset relative to each other for the purpose of forming the first ply drop off and the second ply drop off, respectively, before consolidating.

A transparent multilayer coextruded heat shrinkable barrier film is useful for high-value packaging applications such as food and medical device packaging.
