The polyester resin is not limited to a simple substance, and may be a blend of two or more kinds.

The dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component each contain a main component in an amount of 60 to 100 mol% with respect to the total amount (100 mol% of each), and the total amount of other components other than the main component is the dicarboxylic acid. It is preferable that it is 10-40 mol% with respect to the sum total (200 mol%) of the total amount (100 mol%) of an acid component, and the total amount (100 mol%) of the said diol component.

By making the dicarboxylic acid component and / or the diol component into a mixture system, the crystallinity of the resulting polyester resin is lowered, and even if it is blended in the resin of the surface layer and the back layer from the intermediate layer, crystallization can be achieved. It is possible to make it difficult to proceed, which is preferable.
The polyester resin is blended in the surface layer and the back layer in addition to the case where the polyester resin is mixed from the intermediate layer in the film production process and the case where a predetermined amount of the polyester resin is contained in the intermediate layer.

The larger the value, the stronger the peel strength and the better.

(10) Printability Using a gravure mini proofing machine (manufactured by Nissho Gravure Co., Ltd.), using a water-based gravure ink (Lami Pure: manufactured by Sakata Inx Co., Ltd.), The surface was printed.
The coating film adhesion evaluation by the cross-cut method based on JIS 5400 and 5600 was performed, and the adhesiveness with water-based gravure ink was evaluated.
Scratches are made up to the resin sheet with a blade so that the surface printed with ink becomes 100 squares at 1 mm intervals, and Nichiban's adhesive tape (CT-18 or LP-18, adhesive force 4.01 N / cm) is closely contacted and slanted. The printed surface was peeled off instantaneously in an angle direction of 45 degrees. Judging by the number of print inks peeled off, complete adhesion was expressed as 0/100, and complete print ink peeling was expressed as 100/100.
The better the perfect adhesion, the better the printability, and it was judged desirable.

[Examples 1-8], [Comparative Examples 1-4]
As the surface layer and the back layer, a modified block copolymer or a modified block copolymer and a styrenic polymer shown in Table 4 below are used, and an intermediate layer is a polyester resin (dicarboxylic acid component is 100 mol% terephthalic acid, glycol component is ethylene glycol 70) A layer configuration using a copolymerized polyester composed of 30% by mole of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, a refractive index of 1.568, a trade name of PETG6763, manufactured by Eastman Chemical Co., Ltd.).
The amount of extrusion was melted in an extruder set in the range of 210 ° C. to 230 ° C. at a ratio of intermediate layer: front and back layers = 5: 5, and merged with a die to form two types and three layers (lamination ratio = 2.5). : 5: 2.5) and cooled with a cast roll to obtain an unstretched film having a thickness of 0.3 mm.
This unstretched film was stretched 1.3 times at 70 ° C. in the machine direction (MD), and then stretched 5 times at 90 ° C. in the perpendicular direction (TD) to a thickness of about 50 μm (lamination ratio = 2.5: 5: 2.5) film was produced.

  As is clear from the results shown in Table 4 above, the heat-shrinkable laminated films of the present embodiment (Examples 1 to 8) are excellent in low-temperature shrinkage, rigidity, transparency, peel strength, and adhesion with aqueous ink, It has been found that it is suitable for shrink wrapping, shrink tying wrapping, shrinkage labels and the like.

  The heat-shrinkable laminated film of the present invention has industrial applicability as shrink wrap, shrink-bound wrap, shrink labels, and the like.
