For packaging of palettes, hay, straw, or the like typically, pre-expanded strips made of plastic materials are used. For example, materials such as polyethylene (PE) polyethylene having high density (high density polyethylene, HDPE), polyethylene having low density (low density polyethylene, LDPE) and other synthetic materials are used as such a packaging material. It may be necessary to pack the goods to be packed airtight on a palette. The used material should have a high tensile strength and should provide protection against weather influences, such as humidity. For example, agricultural products, such as hay or straw, are packed to large bales. Also, raw cotton, garbage and waste can be packed to bales. This is for example done by exerting a pressure to the goods to be packed and by wrapping them with a net or another material. Then, a band that is for example formed from polyethylene can be wrapped around the bale. The present invention is concerned with the problem of how to provide an improved packaging material as well as a method for its production. A packaging material comprises a ?rst sheet material and a woven fabric, which are arranged one above the other and are connected to one another. The ?rst sheet material contains ?rst regions, in which the ?rst sheet material is expanded locally, and second regions, in which the ?rst sheet material is not expanded locally. The ?rst regions are arranged in each case between two second regions and run in a ?rst direction. The woven fabric comprises a thread, wherein part of the thread runs in a direction which intersects the ?rst direction.
