Abstract
A thermally shrinkable film with a liquid detecting function is prepared by coating or printing one side of the film with an ink which turns color or dissolves upon contact with a liquid. An item or object to be packaged is packaged in a thermally shrinkable film. The thermally shrinkable film and the package are useful for detecting a liquid leaking from the packed item or object, or entering into the package from the outside. This permits a visual inspection of the quality of the item or object packaged therein or of contamination by a foreign substance.
