A packaging article having a hermetic heat seal of a multilayer film to itself or another component of the article is disclosed. The seal layer contains a blend of a highly branched homogeneous polymer having at least 40 branches per 1000 methylene groups, the highly branched homogeneous polymer having an Mw/Mn less than 3.0, a density of less than 0.89 g/cc, the highly branched homogeneous polymer being present in an amount of from about 5 to 50 weight percent, based on layer weight. The semicrystalline polyolefin has a density of at least 0.90 g/cc, and is present in an amount of from about 50 to 95 weight percent, based on total layer weight. The heat seal has a seal strength at 75 DEG C of at least 100 grams per centimeter. A process for making the article is also disclosed. |
