The present application concerns a coated film comprising a substantially biodegradable substrate having a biodegradable coating thereon at a coat weight of not more than 12 gsm, as well as useful articles sealed inside a package at least partly comprising such a film, and also a process for producing a coated film comprising providing a substantially biodegradable film substrate and applying a biodegradable coating to the substrate at a coat weight of less than 12 gsm by means of a hot melt coating step.

Biodegradable film

A ream wrap package formed by wrapping a sheet of polymeric film around a stack of paper, the sheet having at least one line of weakness formed therein, to form a rectangular tube with sides overlapping, sealing one side to the other to form a girth seal, closing the tube at each end to form an envelope seal with tucked in ends and overlapping flaps, at least one of which is trapezoidal, so that in the formed package there is at least one line of weakness extending along the whole length of a surface of the package outside the girth seal, positioned so that it terminates at each end of the package within a region of the transverse direction defined by that portion of the overlapping flaps where there are only two layers of overlapping film.
