A gas barrier laminate comprising: a plastic substrate (I); a gas
barrier layer (II) formed from a gas barrier layer-forming coating
material (C) containing a polyalcohol-based polymer (A) and a
polycarboxylic acid-based polymer (B); and an overcoat layer (III) formed
from an overcoat layer-forming coating material (F) containing at least
one of a monovalent metal compound (D) and a bivalent or higher metal
compound (E); wherein the gas barrier layer (II) is laminated to the
plastic substrate (I), either directly or with an anchor coat layer
disposed therebetween, the overcoat layer (III) is laminated on top of
the gas barrier layer (II), and when a laminated product is prepared by
laminating a laminate adhesive layer (IV) and a heat seal layer (V), in
that order, to either the overcoat layer (III) or the plastic substrate
(I) of the gas barrier laminate, either directly or with a printing ink
layer disposed therebetween, the lamination strength (X) of the laminated
product is not less than 1 N/cm, and the ratio of the lamination strength
(Y) following a hot water treatment for 30 minutes at 95.degree. C.
relative to the lamination strength (X) (namely, Y/X) is not less than
0.3.
