An aliphatic polyester film is obtained by melt-extruding an aliphatic polyester as a film, controlling the entrained air stream between a casting drum and the film while inhibiting the variations of the film edge portion landing points on the casting drum, and subsequently bringing the film into contact with the casting drum over the entire width of the film.

Method for producing aliphatic polyester film

A method of thermally laminating a substrate with a polyester film characterized in that said film has a melting point of 150-250.degree. C., contains 0.01-1% by weight of diethylene glycol component and not more than 0.8% by weight of cyclic trimers, and has an intrinsic viscosity �.eta.! of not less than 0.7. The film has good formability and physical properties such as impact resistance, which are hitherto not attained, and the film is excellent in adhesiveness and taste characteristics, so that the film is suited as a wrapping material and as an inner liner of containers.

Polyester film for thermal lamination

A polyester film, which is substantially non-oriented and whose main component is polyethylene terephthalate, is formed into a shape for example, a package, at a condition causing no yield point. The formation ability of the polyester film for forming is improved, and a formed body having a good uniformity in thickness can be obtained. Further, the range of the temperature condition causing no yield point can be enlarged by laminating a PET-system polyester, which originally tends to cause a yield point by itself, onto a polyester having no yield point. In such a laminated polyester film, the slipping property and releasing property from a mold of the film can be improved by specifying the ranges of the degree of crystallinity of each layer, the adhesive force at a high temperature of the film and the surface roughness of the film, and the shape of a formed body can be improved.
