A packaging shrink film consisting essentially of a random copolymer of propylene and an alpha -olefin having 4 or more carbon atoms or a random copolymer of propylene, an alpha -olefin having 4 or more carbon atoms and ethylene, said random copolymer satisfying the following conditions: (1) the content of an alpha -olefin having 4 or more carbon atoms in the copolymer is 8 to 30 mole %, (2) the content of ethylene in the copolymer is 3 mole % or less, (3) the content of a cold xylene-soluble portion in the copolymer is 15 to 60% by weight, and (4) the content of a boiling n-heptane-insoluble portion in the copolymer is 7% by weight or more, said film having been stretched. The packaging shrink film is soft and excels in low-temperature shrink characteristics as well as in transparency and gloss. |
