Ink Jet Recording Method And Method Of Packaging Packaged Object

An ink jet recording method is a method including a jetting step of jetting a radiation-curable ink jet composition to adhere to a recording medium that shrinks when heated, and a curing step of curing the radiation-curable ink jet composition by irradiating the radiation-curable ink jet composition adhered to the recording medium with radiation, in which the recorded material has a first region and a second region where shrinkage ratios due to the heating in a main surface direction are different when the recorded material is shrunk by being heated and brought into close contact with a packaged object, the shrinkage ratio of the first region in the main surface direction is greater than the shrinkage ratio of the second region in the main surface direction, and the radiation-curable ink jet composition adheres to the recording medium such that a film thickness of a cured film formed in the first region is less than a film thickness of a cured film formed in the second region.
