There is proposed and provided a plastic bottle (1) the longitudinal dimension (height) of which is decreased substantially when the bottle (1) is manufactured, as compared with the time when the bottle is filled with contents, a method for manufacturing the plastic bottle (1), and an apparatus for manufacturing the plastic bottle (1). When the bottle is manufactured, the bottle being constructed so that a longitudinal part or the whole of the bottle, except a mouth portion (3) at the upper end, has a bellows (2) shape in the horizontal direction, the bottle (1) is molded in a state of having substantially smaller volume and height than the volume and height at the time when the bottle is filled with contents, and when an empty portion is formed in the bottle by an operation of drinking up the contents, the bottle can be made again in a state of having substantially smaller volume and height (L') than the volume and height (L) at the time when the bottle has been filled with contents. <IMAGE>
