Abstract

A perforated plastic film is produced by forming a pattern of light absorbing material (e.g., in dot and/or circular forms) on the film and subjecting the printed film to radiant energy from a light source in order to melt the film areas covered with the light absorbing material, thus producing a corresponding plurality of perforations in the plastic film.
