PURPOSE: A beautiful, transparent film with excellent dew condensation resistance and gas barrier property, prepd. by compounding an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin (EVOH) with a nonionic surfactant of specified HLB.

CONSTITUTION: EVOH of ethylene content 25W60mol% and saponificaton degree ≥90mol% is kneaded with 0.1W1.5wt% nonionic surfactant such as polyoxyethylene stearyl ether of HLB 7W16 by an extruder and pelletized. Then a film or sheet is formed from the resulting pellet. Said film is used for food packaging, etc. as such or as a multi-layer laminated film containing said film in the innermost layer. A resin used in the outermost layer of said laminated film is pref. cellophane for excluding moisture or polypropylene when exclusion of moisture is unnecessary.
