PACKAGE AND ITS PACKAGING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a package which is free from distortion, deformation, bends or the like on characters, marks, figures and/or patterns printed both on a top surface and/or a side face of the package even if a container body is packaged using a heat-shrinkable film with the characters, marks, figures and/or patterns printed having one air discharging opening. SOLUTION: A container comprising a container body filled with contents inside and a lid fitted over an upper rim of the opening of the container body is put in a bag made of a heat-shrinkable film, and the container is packaged with the film shrunk by heating it after the bag is heat-sealed. In this case, a film with characters, marks, figures and/or patterns printed is used as the heat-shrinkable film. After the characters, marks, figures and/or patterns printed on the film are aligned in position with an outer periphery of the lid of the container in the bag, the film is heated while bringing a pressing member into contact with an upper surface of the internal container lid from an external surface of the bag, thereby shrinking the film.
