1. A method of incorporating an ingredient into a finished article in a manufacturing process comprising melting a batch inclusion package to form the finished article, wherein said package comprises(A) an ingredient used to make an article packaged in(B) a protective film comprising at least one layer of at least one substantially linear ethylene/C3 -C20 α
- -olefin polymer, wherein the protective film (B) becomes part of the final article comprising the ingredient and wherein the substantially linear ethylene/α
-olefin polymer is characterized as having;
(a) a melt flow ratio, I10 /I2, ≧
5.63,(b) a molecular weight distribution, Mw /Mn, defined by the equation;
Mw /Mn ≦
(I10 /I2)-4.63, andc) a critical shear rate at onset of surface melt fracture of at least 50 percent greater than the critical shear rate at the onset of surface melt fracture of a linear ethylene/α
-olefin polymer having about the same I2 and Mw /Mn.
