Zusammenfassung:A film which is useful in the packaging of newly formed blocks of cheese and demonstrates flexibility, extensibility, and improved sealing strength comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate/very low density polyethylene sealing layer. In addition to barrier properties, flexibility and extensibility are, preferably, also provided by a core layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer containing at least 32% by weight of ethylene. A preferred structure comprises a core layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, two intermediate layers each comprising a polyamide; outer blend layers of very low density polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, and anti-blocking agent, and adhesive polymeric materials to adhere the outer blend layers to the respective intermediate polyamide layers.
