Abstract: Disclosed is a laminated film or sheet comprising poly-4-methyl-1-pentene laminated on a paper layer. By using poly-4-methyl-1-pentene having a low melting point, formation of cracks and other defects in the resin layer is prevented and the oil and fat impermeability is improved. If an intermediate layer of a specific polymer is formed in addition to the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene layer, the oil and fat impermeability is further improved. A box-shaped vessel (carton) and a release paper for an artificial leather can be prepared from this laminated film or sheet.
