Abstract

A molded container having a wall composed of a thermoplastic resin oriented in at least one direction on the wall face, wherein the container wall has a layer of a blend composed mainly of a plurality of melt-extrudable thermoplastic resins, each of which has a solubility parameter (Sp) of at least 9.5, at least one of said thermoplastic resins has an oxygen permeability lower than 5.times.10.sup.-11 cc.multidot.cm/cm.sup.2 .multidot.sec.multidot.cmHg, said thermoplastic resins are chosen so that the difference (.DELTA.Sp) of the solubility parameter in said thermoplastic resins is not greater than 4.5, the elongation of said resin blend is higher than the arithmetic mean (.epsilon.) of elongations of the respective thermoplastic resins, and wherein the container has a thermal shrinkability (.delta.) of at least 5% in the orientation direction of said container wall.
