From the Packaging Digest on TCBG:

>>>Pouchstock (Printpack Inc, Atlanta, GA) supplied
>>>on 385-mm wide rolls incorporates 40 gauge polyester
>>>laminated to a .00035-in. foil and a proprietary
>>>sealant for tearability and puncture-resistance.

A three layer laminate is described in the article above.

The TCBG film is a twin layer laminate, and foil is not sandwiched between the two layers. I believe polyester is the main layer and it offers strength. The second layer is very thin and provides thermal weldability. I can't remember what it is made of, but polyethylene might be correct.
