PLA film has several characteristics, including:
1. Biodegradability: PLA film is designed to break down into carbon dioxide and water under specific composting conditions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic films.

2. Clarity: PLA film has excellent clarity.

3. Heat resistance: PLA film 501  has good heat resistance, making it suitable for applications that require heat sealing or hot-fill processes.

4. Printability: PLA film can be easily printed on, allowing for branding and labeling on the packaging.

5. Strength and flexibility: PLA film has good strength and flexibility, making it suitable for various packaging applications. 

6. Shelf life: PLA film has a limited shelf life compared to traditional plastic films. It may become brittle or lose its properties over time, especially under certain storage conditions.

7. Cost: PLA film is generally more expensive than traditional plastic films due to the higher cost of production and sourcing renewable resources.

Overall, PLA film offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option for packaging applications.
