Antistatic sheet material, package and method of making

(57) Abstract

An antistatic sheet material and package formed therefrom is provided. The laminated sheet material includes a first inner layer which is preferably a coextruded film having a polyolefin ply and second copolymer ply of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, or blends thereof, a second intermediate layer such as a polyester film having an electrically conductive material thereon, and an outer layer of an antistatic material. The laminate may be formed by hot roll lamination or an adhesive may be used between the first and second layers.
