The present invention is a film laminate comprising a polyamide layer, preferably polyepsiloncaprolactam, and a layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer. The polyamide layer and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer are preferably adjacent layers. The laminate is expanded to an area of less than 4 times the original area. Preferably, the laminate is drawn to a draw ratio of from 1.5:1 to 4:1 in at least one direction. Preferred laminates have outer layers of polyepsiloncaprolactam and at least one inner layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer adjacent to at least one layer of polyepsiloncaprolactam. Preferably, the laminate is a multilayer coextrusion.
