A gas-barrier laminate comprises a plastic substrate (A), an inorganic thin film (B) formed on at least one surface of the plastic substrate (A), and a
polyester-based resin layer (C) formed by applying a
coating material containing a
polyester-based resin on a surface of the inorganic thin film (B), wherein the
polyester-based resin has a
glass transition temperature of 50 to 70° C., a molecular weight of 1500 to 15000 and a
hydroxyl value of 10 to 60 mg KOH / g, and the gas-barrier laminate has an
oxygen permeability of not more than 5 cc / m2 / day / atm and a
water vapor permeability of not more than 5 g / m2 / day. The gas-barrier laminate of the present invention is excellent in printability (in particular,
gradation printability), is free from deterioration in gas-barrier property, namely is excellent in gas-barrier property, even after providing a printed layer thereon, and further exhibits an excellent adhesion between the plastic substrate (A) and the inorganic thin film (B) even after being subjected to
retort treatments.
