A packaging body (1, 1a, 1b, 1b-1, 1b-2, 1c, 1d) for a wire coil being a wire wound into a shape of a cylinder and tied with a band, the packaging body being for protecting the wire coil by holding the wire coil sideways such that an axis of the cylinder of the wire coil is oriented in a horizontal direction, a plurality of the packaging bodies being to be loaded in a single container, the packaging body comprising: a plurality of base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) configured to be disposed on a floor surface of the container and extending in a longitudinal direction; a cross beam disposed on the plurality of base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) so as to extend in a width direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, and coupling the base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2); and a block-shaped coil holding stand provided on the cross beam and including a recessed section in which to accommodate the wire coil sideways with an axial direction of the cylinder oriented in the said width direction, the coil holding stand being a stand to which to lash the wire coil, wherein the coil holding stand includes a corrugated engagement section on a front surface and a back surface as viewed in longitudinal direction, a wave direction of the corrugated engagement section being oriented in the width direction in plan view, the corrugated engagement section being configured to engage the corrugated engagement section of another one of the packaging bodies, wherein the coil holding stand has two wedge members (19a, 19b) in a shape of a wedge having an inclined surface that is configured to support the wire coil, and tips of the wedges abut each other to form a V-shaped groove section as the recessed section, wherein the two wedge members (19a, 19b) are offset from each other in the width direction by a length that is an odd multiple of a half wavelength of a wave on the corrugated engagement section, and are disposed inward of ends of the cross beam and the base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) in the width direction. a plurality of base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) configured to be disposed on a floor surface of the container and extending in a longitudinal direction; a cross beam disposed on the plurality of base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) so as to extend in a width direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, and coupling the base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2); and a block-shaped coil holding stand provided on the cross beam and including a recessed section in which to accommodate the wire coil sideways with an axial direction of the cylinder oriented in the said width direction, the coil holding stand being a stand to which to lash the wire coil, wherein the coil holding stand includes a corrugated engagement section on a front surface and a back surface as viewed in longitudinal direction, a wave direction of the corrugated engagement section being oriented in the width direction in plan view, the corrugated engagement section being configured to engage the corrugated engagement section of another one of the packaging bodies, wherein the coil holding stand has two wedge members (19a, 19b) in a shape of a wedge having an inclined surface that is configured to support the wire coil, and tips of the wedges abut each other to form a V-shaped groove section as the recessed section, wherein the two wedge members (19a, 19b) are offset from each other in the width direction by a length that is an odd multiple of a half wavelength of a wave on the corrugated engagement section, and are disposed inward of ends of the cross beam and the base beams (15, 15-1, 15-2) in the width direction.
