In the present invention, the value (Nx-Ny) obtained by subtracting the refractive index (Ny) in the width direction from the refractive index (Nx) in the longitudinal direction of the aliphatic polyester-based film in the present invention must be -0.020 or more and 0 or less. Yes, and preferably from -0.015 to 0. When Nx-Ny is less than -0.020, when the film is heated in a printing or laminating step, the film is stretched due to the transport tension of the film, causing printing misalignment and ripples to deteriorate flatness. Also, N
If x-Ny exceeds 0, the thickness unevenness tends to be large, and the hand-cutting property is reduced.
