Abstract

When producing a laminated metal sheet, the air bubbles taken in when laminating can be lessened so that a laminated metal sheet with low rate of air bubbles can be obtained. For this purpose, in a production method of a laminated metal sheet comprising the steps of laminating of plastic film 2 on at least one side of a metal sheet strip 1, the plastic film is heated to a temperature of between the glass transition temperature of the plastic film and a temperature at which the thermal shrinkage of the film attains 3% when the plastic film is kept for 30 minutes at a constant temperature, and just after the heating, the plastic film is brought into pressure contact with the metal sheet, by which laminated metal sheet in which air bubbles are hard to be taken in when laminating, and the rate of air bubbles is low can be obtained.
