The Board of Directors
Pliant Corporation:

We consent to the use of our report for Uniplast Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries
(the "Company") dated June 4, 2001 included in Form S-1 of Pliant Corporation
and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the registration
statement.

Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company is in
violation of certain covenants related to its lending agreement, which has
placed the Company in default of its lending agreement, which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
