Abstract

A vessel such as a glass bottle having a narrow-necked portion is protected by coating with a stretched film of crosslinked polyolefin resin having specific characteristics. The film holds the vessel very tightly through the shrink tension of the heat-shrunk film at the narrower part and through the elastic tension of the elongated film at the wider part. The protected vessel has excellent effect for preventing scattering of glass fragments at the time of breaking as well as good display effect and cap-seal effect. The coated film has also good printability.
