A thermoplastic film having a permanently embossed design or geometric shape built therein for controlling the coefficient of friction of sheets of the film when placed adjacent each other. The film has a relatively smooth or female surface on one side and a relatively rough or male surface on the other side. By varying the relationship of one sheet of film placed adjacent another sheet of film or a surface area of the same film, a desired level of coefficient of friction can be obtained. A relatively low coefficient of friction is obtained when two sheets of the film are placed adjacent each other in a female side to female side relationship. A relatively high coefficient of friction is obtained when two sheets are placed adjacent each other in a male side to male side relationship. The film may be perforated or non-perforated and single layer or multi-layer.

A thermoplastic film having a plurality of permanently embossed protuberances and depressions of predetermined geometric shapes constructed therein for controlling the coefficient of friction of sheets of the film when placed adjacent each other, each of said protuberances having a relatively flat portion therebetween and the width of each protuberance at its base being less than the length of the relatively flat portion of the film between the base of each protuberance, said protuberances being truncated geometric shapes arranged in latitudinally and longitudinally alternating rows, said film having a relatively rough or male side and a relatively smooth or female side whereby when a male surface of film is placed adjacent another male surface of the same film or a male surface of a separate sheet of film, the protuberances on said male surface of film mesh with the relatively flat portions of said another male surface of the same film or said male surface of the separate sheet of film and thereby a relatively high coefficient of friction is obtained and when a female surface of film is placed adjacent another female surface of the same film or a separate sheet of film, a relatively low coefficient of friction is obtained.
