The present invention relates to an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container (2) having an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container wherein the same polymer is in contact on either side of the interface between the inner (11) and outer layers (12). It also concerns a preform (1, 1′) for blow-moulding a bag-in-container, having an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the thus obtained inner layer of the container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface between the two layers. The inner and outer layers are of the same material.

To provide a composite preform that can ensure that worsening of the appearance of a surface of a plastic member caused by near-infrared heating prior to blow molding is effectively prevented and that an inner preform is efficiently heated. The composite preform of the present invention includes a preform and a heat-contractive plastic member, the preform including a mouth part; a trunk part linked to the mouth part; and a bottom part linked to the trunk part, and the heat-contractive plastic member being disposed so as to surround the outside of the preform and including at least a colored layer that contains a resin material and a colorant, wherein the heat-contractive plastic member has a near-infrared transmittance of 50% or higher.

Provided are a preform for manufacturing a synthetic resin container, in which a decorative layer (60) having three-dimensional design different from the conventional one is formed on the surface of a container main body (10a), and a synthetic resin container. In a preform (1) including a preform main body (1a) of a bottomed cylindrical shape that is opened to have a mouth portion (2) on one end side thereof, and a covering layer (6) configured to cover the preform main body (1a) except for a part thereof on a mouth portion (2) side, and a container (10) obtained by subjecting the preform to blow molding, a distal end side of the covering layer (6) (decorative layer (60)) is formed so as to reach a peripheral end edge of a neck ring (22) while covering a lower surface of the neck ring (22) that is provided on a lower end side of the mouth portion (2) and protrudes annularly along a circumferential direction.

A synthetic resin-made container has an outer layer body and an inner layer body separably laminated on an inner surface of the outer layer body and is formed by stretch blow molding, and has: a tubular mouth portion; a shoulder portion located below the mouth portion and increasing in diameter downward; a barrel portion connected to and located below the shoulder portion; and a bottom portion closing a lower end of the barrel portion, wherein the mouth portion has an outside air introduction hole for introducing outside air into a space between the outer layer body and the inner layer body, and the inner layer body is made of a crystalline resin, and has, in at least a part of the mouth portion in the inner layer body, a crystallized region having a higher degree of crystallinity than other regions.

A preform for an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container uses an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of the container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

The disclosure provides a preform layered body and a layered container produced by biaxial stretch-blow forming of the layered body. In this preform layered body, an RFID tag has been inserted between an inner-layer-use mouth part and an outer-layer-use mouth part that are to remain unaltered, with no biaxial stretch-blow forming performed thereon, as a container mouth part for a layered container. Since the container mouth part does not become exposed to the high temperature and high pressure for stretch-blow forming purposes, abuses to the RFID tag, such as damage, breakage, and deformation, which arise from the heating, pressurization, and stretching during the stretch-blow forming, can be avoided reliably. In addition, labor-saving and counterfeit prevention effect can be anticipated by causing the RFID tag to hold product information.

The present invention relates to an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container (2) and preform (1, 1′) for blow-moulding the bag-in-container. An inner layer (11) and an outer layer (12) are used, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of said container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface (14) between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

A preform and methods for making the preform, as well as containers made by blow molding an additive manufactured preform.

A method for manufacturing a container including: forming a preform by injection molding, the preform having a bottom portion, a body portion, and a finish portion including a top sealing surface, threads, and a support flange; forming the preform such that the top sealing surface is made of a base layer, and such that the body portion and the bottom portion are both made of the base layer and an oxygen barrier layer; and forming the container from the preform by blow molding. The top sealing surface includes only the base layer. The body portion and the bottom portion both include an inner portion made of the base layer, an outer portion made of the base layer, and an oxygen barrier layer between the inner portion and the outer portion.

A preform configured to form a container. The preform includes a finish defining an opening and a top sealing surface configured to contact a closure to seal the opening closed. A body portion extends from the finish. A bottom portion is at an end of the preform opposite to the finish. A longitudinal axis of the preform extends through an axial center of the bottom portion. An oxygen barrier layer extends along the body portion to the bottom portion and across the bottom portion. A base layer includes an outer portion and an inner portion. The oxygen barrier layer is between the outer portion and the inner portion. The oxygen barrier layer extends along the body portion and the bottom portion.
