A packaging laminate for a container which enables a blend monolayer to be effectively extrusion coated onto the paperboard substrate as the product contact layer without the need for tie layers or multilayer co-extrusion equipment. The blend monolayer has superior oxygen transmission resistance and has excellent pinhole resistance compared to straight polyethylene monolayer. The product contact layer consists of a blend of a polyolefin polymer, a polyamide, and a compatibilizer in a preferred embodiment. The monolayer blend is a low cost alternative to multilayer structures.
