The present invention provides a laminated sheet for manufacturing a packaging container. The laminated sheet comprises a pair of plastic sheets, a barrier sheet, a barrier region, an easily peelable region, and a fixing region. The barrier sheet has flexibility and is disposed between the pair of plastic sheets. The barrier region is formed by overlapping the pair of plastic sheets and the barrier sheet with each other. The easily peelable region is provided in the barrier region. The fixing region is located in a circumference of the easily peelable region, in which the pair of plastic sheets are fixed to each other directly and/or via the barrier sheet. A peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets and the barrier sheet in the easily peelable region is smaller than a direct peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets and/or a peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets via the barrier sheet in the fixing region. This improves recyclability of a packaging container having gas barrier property.

A laminate includes a multilayer outer film, which includes a first barrier layer and polyolefin layer on both sides of the first barrier layer, and a multilayer middle film, which includes a second barrier layer and polyolefin layer on both sides of the second barrier layer. The polyolefin layer of the multilayer outer film towards the multilayer middle film and/or the polyolefin layer of the multilayer middle film towards the multilayer outer film is metallized with a metal selected from aluminum, nickel, chromium, or combinations thereof. A process can be used for preparing the laminate and an article can include the laminate.

A multilayer film comprises an adhesive layer A comprising an HMPSA composition (a); a complexable thin layer B comprising a PolyEthylene (PE) composition (b); and a heat-sealable and breakable layer C comprising a PolyEthylene (PE) composition (c). Layers B and C are bonded together by layer A. The film is characterized in that (i) the melt flow indices of compositions (b) and (c), denoted MFI(b) and MFI(c), respectively, are each between 2.5 and 15 g/10 minutes; and (ii) the melt flow index of composition (a), denoted MFI(a), is such that the ratios MFI(a)/MFI(b) and MFI(a)/MFI(c) are each between 1.5 and 10. A process for manufacturing the film comprises flat sheet coextrusion of composition (a) and of compositions (b) and (c) at a temperature of between 150° C. and 250° C. The multilayer film can be used for the manufacture of resealable packaging.
