Abstract

A container substantially made of plastic materials and having a gas barrier property. The container has a wall including a laminated sheet which comprises an inner layer and an outer layer both made of a thermoplastic material and an intermediate barrier layer between the inner and outer layers and made of a resin material of which gas barrier property can be improved by stretching. The intermediate layer is held between the inner and outer layers in a stretched state. A rigid layer of a large thickness may be provided outside the outer layer. In manufacturing the container, the intermediate layer may be in a stretched state when the laminate is provided. The rate of stretching can be increased when the laminated sheet is formed into the shape of the container.
