As a method for stretching the raw polyethylene sheet for stretch molding after the above-mentioned rolling, a commonly used uniaxial stretching method is used. In the uniaxial stretching method, for example, a raw polyethylene sheet for stretch molding is pulled while being sandwiched between two pairs of pinch rolls (feeding roll and take-up roll) having different speeds in a heated state. There is a method of strongly aligning. In this case, the ratio of the surface speed between the pay-out roll and the take-up roll (draw-up roll / feed-out roll) is the draw ratio. The stretch ratio of the stretched polyethylene sheet is preferably 2 to 10 times.
