A resin-coated metal sheet for containers, comprising: a metal sheet; a resin layer having a multilayer structure and containing, as a main component, a polyester that is a polymer of an acid component and a glycol component, the resin layer being disposed on a side which, after the metal sheet is formed into a container, becomes an inner side of the container; and a resin layer containing a polyester as a main component and disposed on a side which becomes an outer side of the container, wherein i) the acid component which is a constitutional unit of the polyester contained as the main component of the resin layer comprises a terephthalic acid unit in an amount of at least 85 mol%, ii) the resin layer includes an uppermost resin layer that is to be in contact with contents of the container to be formed, the uppermost resin layer containing a wax component in an amount of 0.10 to 2.0 mass% with respect to the mass of the uppermost resin layer and having a thickness within a range of 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less, iii) the ratio (I 2968 /I 3085) of a Raman band intensity (I 2968) at 2,968±5 cm -1 measured by Raman spectroscopy on a surface of the resin layer to a Raman band intensity (I 3085) at 3,085±5 cm -1 measured on the surface of the resin layer is 0.6 or more and 0.9 or less, iv) the resin layer contains a polyester that is polyethylene terephthalate or copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate containing 15 mol% or less of a copolymerization component and a polyester that is polybutylene terephthalate or copolymerized polybutylene terephthalate containing 15 mol% or less of a copolymerization component, and the ratio of the polyester to the polyester is 10:90 to 60:40 based on mass%, and v) the ratio (I 2968 /I 3085) of a Raman band intensity (I 2968) at 2,968±5 cm -1 measured by Raman spectroscopy on a surface of the resin layer to a Raman band intensity (I 3085) at 3,085±5 cm -1 measured on the surface of the resin layer is 0.8 or more and 1.0 or less. i) the acid component which is a constitutional unit of the polyester contained as the main component of the resin layer comprises a terephthalic acid unit in an amount of at least 85 mol%, ii) the resin layer includes an uppermost resin layer that is to be in contact with contents of the container to be formed, the uppermost resin layer containing a wax component in an amount of 0.10 to 2.0 mass% with respect to the mass of the uppermost resin layer and having a thickness within a range of 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less, iii) the ratio (I 2968 /I 3085) of a Raman band intensity (I 2968) at 2,968±5 cm -1 measured by Raman spectroscopy on a surface of the resin layer to a Raman band intensity (I 3085) at 3,085±5 cm -1 measured on the surface of the resin layer is 0.6 or more and 0.9 or less, iv) the resin layer contains a polyester that is polyethylene terephthalate or copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate containing 15 mol% or less of a copolymerization component and a polyester that is polybutylene terephthalate or copolymerized polybutylene terephthalate containing 15 mol% or less of a copolymerization component, and the ratio of the polyester to the polyester is 10:90 to 60:40 based on mass%, and v) the ratio (I 2968 /I 3085) of a Raman band intensity (I 2968) at 2,968±5 cm -1 measured by Raman spectroscopy on a surface of the resin layer to a Raman band intensity (I 3085) at 3,085±5 cm -1 measured on the surface of the resin layer is 0.8 or more and 1.0 or less.
