Molecularly oriented plastic films have five molecularly oriented layers. A first layer provides a barrier to gaseous transmission through the film and has a composition of 0% to 50% nylon or nylon copolymer, and conversely 50% to 100% ethylene vinyl alcohol. Second and third adhesive layers are adhered to the surfaces of the first layer, and have compositions comprising olefinic polymers, or copolymers, or blends thereof, the compositions having carboxyl modifications therein. Fourth and fifth layers are adhered to the second and third layers on the respective surfaces opposite the first layer. The fourth and fifth layers comprise 40% to 100% ethylene vinyl acetate and 0% to 60% linear low density polyethylene. Also disclosed are processes for making the oriented five layer films.

A fabricated plastic bag having an opening on one edge thereof, the remainder of the periphery of the bag having been closed by heat seals, said bag having been fabricated from an oriented film comprising five polymeric layers, including: (a) a first oriented barrier layer having a composition of greater than 0% and no more than 50% nylon or nylon copolymer, and conversely less than 100% and at least 50% ethylene vinyl alcohol, said first layer having two opposing surfaces; (b) second and third oriented adhesive layers adhered to said surfaces of said first layer, said second and third adhesive layers both comprising olefinic polymers or copolymers having carboxyl modifications thereto; and (c) fourth and fifth oriented layers adhered to said second and third layers on the respective surfaces opposite said first layer, said fourth and fifth layers comprising 40% to 100% ethylene vinyl acetate and no more than 60% linear low density polyethylene, with greater than 0% linear low density polyethylene in at least one of said fourth and fifth layers; said layers being adhered to each other directly at the recited surface interfaces without the use of additional adhesive materials; said bag being susceptible to being made into a closed and sealed container by means of a heat seal along said opening. A plastic bag as in claim 8 wherein said fourth and fifth layers comprise a blend of 25% to 40% linear low density polyethylene and 75% to 60% ethylene vinyl acetate.
