Abstract: A cup-shaped closing material having a convex section is fitted on a protrusion-like engagement section of a distal end of a mandrel with a gap from the engagement section of the mandrel, a molten resin is then disposed in a cavity of a molding die and a holepin having an outer peripheral section of a distal end that is smaller than an outer periphery of the distal end surface of the convex section of the closing material is pressed against the distal end surface of the convex section of the closing material, whereby the distal end surface of the convex section of the closing material is pleated to form an annular protrusion section at the outer peripheral section, and the molten resin is caused to envelope the annular protrusion section, while being pushed and charged into the cavity, whereby the head part with the closing material attached thereto is formed.

Abstract: A laminate-tube container having a shoulder with improved barrier properties is characterized in that the shoulder comprises a material composed of (A) 0 to 50% by weight of polyethylene, (B) 10 to 50% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer or a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and (c) 10 to 90% by weight of a carboxylic acid-modified adhesive polyethylene resin. The laminate-tube is markedly improved in the gas barrier property at the shoulder thereof and, thus, the quality of the contents of the container can be maintained for a long period of time. The laminate-tube container according to the present invention is extremely useful as containers used for toothpaste, medicine, food, drinks, adhesives or the like.
