Abstract

A crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film superior in clarity as well as moistureproofness and having an improved stretchability is produced by a process for producing a crosslinked and oriented polyethylene film such that the degree of crosslinking inwardly decreases across the thickness of the film, comprising using a polyethylene having a density of at least 0.935 g/cm.sup.3, a melt index of 0.5 to 20 g/10 min and a high-load melt index to melt index ratio of 40 to 200.
