The present invention relates to a multilayer polymer film structure that possesses the necessary functionality to serve as either (i) a heat sealable film with low minimum seal temperature, broad seal range, and high seal strength or (ii) a metal-receiving film onto which a metal layer may be deposited with excellent metal adhesion. The film structure includes a core layer and at least one skin layer. The core layer has a first and second side, and contains a film-forming polyolefin. The at least one skin layer contains a film-forming ethylene acid terpolymer resin composition comprising (i) polyethylene, (ii) acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or mixtures thereof, and (iii) alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, or mixtures thereof. The film is particularly useful in the packaging of certain types of foods. |
