Zusammenfassung:Described are methods for producing a sequentially biaxially oriented thermoplastic film having balanced machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) heat shrinkage properties. The methods can include extruding a film, orienting the extruded film in a machine direction, quenching the film, heating the film in an transverse orientation oven and transversely orienting the film, and allowing the film to relax in the machine direction at a machine direction tension lower than a machine direction tension of the film in the transverse orientation oven.
