An oriented polyethylene film with an excellent moistureproofness and optical property is provided in which the degree of crosslinking is uniform or decreases inwardly across the thickness of the film, and which consists of a composition comprising (A) 50 to 90% by weight of polyethylene with a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3 and a high load melt index to melt index ratio of at most 100 and (B) 50 to 10% by weight of a petroleum resin or linear low density polyethylene.

Oriented polyethylene film

A crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film superior in clarity as well as moistureproofness and having an improved stretchability is produced by a process for producing a crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film such that the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, comprising using a polyethylene having a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index of 0.5 to 20 g/10 min and a high-load melt index to melt index ratio of 40 to 200.
