C. and 125 .degree. C. with at least 5% of a high density polyethylene, and layer (b) being at least 45% of a copolymer of ethylene and at least one C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 .alpha.-olefin, having a density of 0.900 g/cm.sup.3 to <0.915 g/cm.sup.3, and a melting point of 85.degree. C.-125.degree. C., the film being 50.8 micrometers(.mu.) or less in thickness, and having a shrinkage value of at least 60% in at least one direction at 127.degree.
