A multilayer shrink film having at least two barrier layers. The barrier layers including ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with an ethylene content of between 27-50 mol %. The multilayer shrink film having a free shrink of at least 60%, 65% and 70% at 85 #C measured in accordance with ASTM D2732. The multilayer shrink film having an oxygen transmission rate of no more than: 5, 10, 15, or 20 cubic centimeters (at standard temperature and pressure) per square meter per day per 1 atmosphere of oxygen pressure differential measured at 0% relative humidity and 23 #C measured according to ASTM D-3985. The multilayer shrink film having a haze after shrink of less than 50 measured in accordance with ASTM D 1003.

Multilayer heat-shrinkable barrier film and packages made therefrom

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to packaging materials having at least one antimicrobial agent and methods of making thereof. A multilayer film including a sealant layer with a polymeric substrate, a lauroyl arginate moiety, and an ethylene methacrylic acid copolymer is disclosed. Such packaging materials are suitable for use in the packaging of food products to control microbial contamination.
