An adhesive sheet comprising a hot-melt adhesive layer. The hot-melt type adhesive layer comprises a modified polymer (A) to which a cross-linkable group is bonded and a polyolefin (B). The adhesive sheet can adhere to various adherends and the adhesive becomes less likely to squeeze out from an adherend in thermal fusion bonding and sealing of the adherend. In a laminate comprising the adhesive sheet the adhesive layer does not squeeze out from the adherend without being affected by the material of the adherend.
