Adhesive composition and adhesive composition-applied laminate

A method for preparing a laminate comprising a layer of a saponification product of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer and a layer of paper which method comprises adhering said layer of saponification product of ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer to the paper layer by providing an adhesive composition layer therebetween,

• wherein said adhesive composition consist essentially of
• (A) a substantially linear, low-density polyethylene in an amount of 30 to 80% by weight,
• (B) a high pressure low-density polyethylene in an amount of 1 to 50% by weight,
• (C) an ethylene-based polymer modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid, anhydride or ester thereof in an amount of 5 to 30% by weight, the ethylene-based polymer being an ethylene homopolymer or a random copolymer formed from ethylene and an α-olefin other than ethylene in which the α-olefin makes up not more than 10 mol % based on the total amount of the ethylene and the α-olefin,
• (D) a tackifier in an amount of 1 to 30% by weight, based on the total amount of Components (A), (B), (C) and (D), and
• (E) an ethylene/α-olefin random copolymer in an amount of 0 to 30% by weight based on the total amount of Components (A) to (D) and (E).
