Polymeric Film and Method of Making Same

A method for making at least a first polymeric film, the first polymeric film extending along a length direction of the first polymeric film and having a width along a width direction of the first polymeric film orthogonal to the length direction, the method comprising:

• extruding first and second resins through respective first and second pluralities of slots in a slot plate to form a molten stack of alternating respective first and second extended elements, each of the first and second pluralities of slots having a flow direction angled relative to a first plane defined by the length and width directions, the first and second extended elements extending along the length direction and being tilted in a second plane orthogonal to the length direction;
• extruding first and second skin layers onto respective opposite first and second sides of the molten stack to form a molten film;
• compressing the molten film in a thickness direction orthogonal to the length and width directions;
• and
• cooling the molten film to form the first polymeric film.
