Abstract: In a hollow molded container equipped with a label and its production method, molding is made by use of a label consisting, as a base, of a stretched film of a plastic having a thermal shrinkage ratio greater than a mold shrinkage ratio of a plastic constituting the outer surface of a container, at a temperature 40.degree. C. lower than the melting point or softening point of the plastic so that the label is bonded to the container at a residual equilibrium shrinkage ratio (Rs), defined below, of 0.5 to 100%: Rs=L.sub.1 -L.sub.2 /L.sub.1, where L.sub.1 is a length of a label film peeled from the container and L.sub.2 is a length when the peeled label film is brought to equilibrium at the temperature (T.sub.1) described above.
