The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminate comprising a paper or paperboard substrate and a microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) film. A first web comprising a paper or paperboard substrate is provided. A second web of an MFC film is provided, wherein the MFC film has: a) a content of MFC of 50-100 weight-% based on total dry weight; b) a moisture content of 5-20 weight-%, c) a ratio of a machine direction tensile index and a cross direction tensile index of 0.8-1.4. The first web and the second web are joined using at least one adhesive layer provided between the webs so as to form the laminate. The MFC film of the laminate is further dried to a moisture content of less than 4 weight-%. The invention relates also to a laminate and a packaging material comprising the laminate.
