Biaxially oriented polyester film and production method therefor

A biaxially oriented polyester film comprising a polyester resin composition containing polyester resin employing recycled PET bottles and particles,

• wherein the biaxially oriented polyester film meets all of requirements (1) to (4) below:
• (1) a crystallization temperature when heated that is measured using a differential scanning calorimeter is 120° C. or more and 139° C. or less;
• (2) an amount of change in orientation angle with respect to a film transverse direction is 0° or more and 10° or less per 0.5 m;
• (3) a heat shrinkage rate when heat treatment at 150° C. for 30 minutes is performed over an entire width of the film is in a range of 0.5% or more and 2.0% or less in a machine direction and in a range of −1.0% or more and 1.0% or less in a transverse direction;
• and
• (4) a content rate of an isophthalic acid component with respect to 100 mol % of total dicarboxylic acid components in the polyester resin composition is 0.01 mol % or more and 3.0 mol % or less,
• where sample collection positions in the requirements (2) and (3) are a center position with respect to the entire width and positions at intervals of 500 mm from the center position toward both ends, and are end positions where collection is possible in a case where intervals of 500 mm cannot be secured near both ends, and
• it is required that maximum and minimum values of data for each measurement position is within the range in the requirement (3) and a maximum value of each amount of change between two adjacent sample collection positions is within the range in the requirement (2).
