A resin molding method includes a first molding step of molding a first molded part and a second molded part in a mold and a second molding step of joining the first molded part and the second molded part. In the first molding step, the second molded part is formed by injecting resin into an area where a first core movable in the first direction and a second core movable in a second direction are engaged. In the second molding step, the second molded part is joined to the first molded part by injecting the resin while the first core is in contact with the second molded part and the second core is removed from the second molded part. Areas where the first core and the second core are located in the first molding step become hollow areas connected to each other and part of ends of the first core in the first direction is not in contact with the second core.

A thin multilayer container having favorable gas barrier properties is provided using a technique applicable to the molding of the thin multilayer container, by means of ensuring the gas barrier properties at a joint of ends of a film, when the container is molded with disposing the film having the gas barrier properties in a portion to be a container trunk portion. When molding the container with disposing in advance the film having the gas barrier properties in the portion to be the container trunk portion, while a container surface resin is fed from an injection molding nozzle into a container trunk forming portion of a mold, a gas barrier resin is fed into a position corresponding the joint of the label film as an intermediate layer between a portion of the container surface resin being spread along a core mold and a portion of the container surface resin being spread along a cavity mold.

An injection-molding station for the manufacture of multilayer preforms comprises an injection-molding machine (2), at least one multi-component nozzle (3), at least two melt accumulators (4, 5) constructed as cylinder accumulators and connected thereto, at least two plasticizer units (6, 7) for charging them and a control unit (8). The multi-component nozzle has slides (17, 19), which are associated with the melt channels (9, 10) and which are separately activated by the control unit independently of one another in such a way that the respective melt channels have an infinitely variable passage cross section. Proportional actuators (26, 27) that can be activated by the control unit are associated with the pistons (22, 23) of the cylinder accumulators. The control unit comprises a memory unit for coordinated movement or position profiles of the at least two closing slides and the at least two melt-accumulator pistons.
