A multi-layer polymeric film substrate comprising at least a core layer and a coextruded oxygen barrier layer wherein the film exhibits an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) when measured in accordance with ASTM F1927-14 of below 200 cc/m/24 hr at a relative humidity (RH) of 85% and/or of below 600 cc/m/24 hr at a relative humidity (RH) of 90%.

Barrier film

There is disclosed an in-mould labelling process for the manufacture of a labelled article comprising the steps of: feeding a labelstock web into a mould; forming an article in the mould such that the formed article contacts and effectively adheres to a label of the labelstock web; detaching the adhered label from the labelstock web; and removing the formed and labelled article from the mould.

In-mould labelling process

The present invention provides a transparent, dimensionally stable, biaxially oriented PLA film having a haze value of less than 3% and exhibiting strain induced crystallinity having been oriented by stretching the film from a substantially non-crystalline state by more than three times its original areal dimensions. The processes for making such films are also disclosed.
