Abstract: A laminate having a layer structure of A/C/B/C/D, which is obtained by coextruding a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (B) and an adhesive resin (C) on one side of a polypropylene film (A) oriented at least uniaxially, to give a laminate having a layer structure of A/C/B/C, stretching this laminate in the transverse direction, and laminating a heat sealing layer (D) on a surface of the adhesive resin (C) of the laminate, and a production method thereof. The laminate of the present invention is superior in gas barrier property, moisture proof, aromatic proof and the like under particularly high humidity, and particularly when formed into a packaging bag, the packing bag shows superior sealing performance and appearance. Hence, the laminate of the present invention is useful for various packaging applications and as a packaging bag and the like for food and pharmaceutical preparations.
