Abstract: A process for the production of a laminated sheet is disclosed, which comprises impregnating a base paper for laminated sheet using a wood pulp having an .alpha.-cellulose content of 87.0% or more with a synthetic resin to prepare a prepreg and subjecting the prepreg to laminate molding by heat. A process for the production of a metal foil-clad laminated sheet is also disclosed, which comprises impregnating a base paper for laminated sheet using a wood pulp having an .alpha.-cellulose content of 87.0% or more with a synthetic resin to prepare a prepreg, piling up the prepreg, placing a metal foil one either one or both sides of the prepregs, and subjecting the resulting prepregs with metal foil to laminate molding by heat. The laminated sheet or metal foil-clad laminated sheet of this invention has not only excellent punchability but also excellent electric characteristics and heat resistance and hence, it is quite useful as a laminated sheet for high density printed wiring system.
