Cables are constructed with embedded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of polymer material coextruded in the cable jacket.

A flexible tube skirt (10) has a primary film (20) and a decorative film (30), wherein the decorative film (30) has a decoration substrate and a sealable outer layer (33) The decoration substrate is applied on all of at least one of the surfaces of the primary film (20) and is below the sealable outer layer (33). The flexible tube skirt may be used in a flexible tube.
