Easy tear laminates for food packaging

Abstract

Described herein are multi-layer laminates and methods of manufacturing said laminates, including multi-layer laminates having improved tear resistance without compromising on other properties such as strength or processability. The disclosed multi-layer laminates include at least a first layer that is suitable for use in a food packaging article, and provides easy tearability (i.e., low or very low tear resistance). In embodiments, this easy tear layer may form the outermost layer of the food packaging article and thereby enable a consumer to tear the food packaging article without the use of a tool such as a knife or a pair of scissors.
