Abstract
The invention provides a thermoplastic film comprising: a base film wherein the base film comprises a stretchable polyolefin material comprising one or more layers; and a plurality of extruded fiber elements; wherein the extruded fiber elements are located on at least one surface of the base film; wherein the extruded fibers form one or more protrusions relative to the plane of the base film; wherein at the location where the fiber elements are provided on the base film, a domain of a material mixture comprising the base film material and the fiber material is present between a domain of pure base film material and a domain of pure fiber material, and wherein the average thickness of the base film is less than the average thickness of the protrusion.
