1. An apparatus for producing bottle-type synthetic resin containers, comprising a heat treatment means for heating and crystallizing a neck portion of a preform corresponding to a neck portion of a container, wherein said heat treatment means is operated in a first stage so that said neck portion of the preform is temporarily heated thereby causing a temperature in said neck portion to elevate above a range in which crystallization of the synthetic resin is promoted and below a melting point of the synthetic resin, and in a second stage so that the neck portion is subsequently maintained at a temperature within the range in which crystallization of the synthetic resin is promoted.
