PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject pellets excellent in a field property on their melt molding and capable of providing a formed material having a high dimensional precision such as a shape, thickness, by palletizing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer so as to have a specific resting angle. SOLUTION: The pellets of a saponified material of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (hereinafter as EVOH) of which resting angle satisfies the condition of formula I, are obtained. It is preferable that the bulk density of the EVOH pellets satisfies the condition of formula II. Such pellets are obtained e.g. by preparing a solution of the EVOH, palletizing it by extruding in a strand state to obtain the EVOH pellets having a specific water content (preferably, finally having 0.01-0.5 wt.% water content) after passing through a drying process and attaching a lubricating agent on the surfaces of the pellets. The obtained EVOH pellets can be used as a film, sheet, container, or the like, by melt molding, or the like.
