A multilayer film for use in packaging organoleptic sensitive products has the structure seal/bulk/tie#1/core/tie#2/tie#3/odor barrier, in which the seal layer contains a homogeneous ethylene/α-olefin copolymer having a density of at least 0.906 g/cc. The odor barrier contains a polyester, amorphous polyamide, polycarbonate, polyvinylalcohol, and/or cyclic olefin copolymer. The 7-layer film above, and variants thereof, can be produced by coextrusion, extrusion coating, lamination (via adhesive, heat, etc). Packaging articles include pouches. Packaged products have the organoleptic sensitive product in the pouch made from the film, or made from a film without the odor barrier layer, with the pouch being sealed inside a separate bag containing the odor barrier layer. |
