Claim:
A container for housing a roll-shaped member having a core, comprising: a tray having a bottom wall and a pair of side walls which are erected from the bottom wall so as to be opposed to each other and to extend perpendicularly to an axis of the core when the roll-shaped member is housed in the container; a pair of first side plates disposed on the bottom wall parallel with the respective side walls; and a cap which has a top wall opposed to the bottom wall of the tray and is disposed so that the roll-shaped member can be interposed between the cap and the tray, wherein: each of the pair of side walls is formed with a first slit which extends from a top sideline of the side wall to a halfway position in a direction toward a bottom sideline of the side wall, and in which the core of the roll-shaped member can be inserted; each of the pair of first side plates is formed with a second slit which extends from a top sideline of the first side plate to a halfway position in a direction toward a bottom sideline of the first side plate, which is located at such a position as to face the associated first slit with the first side plate disposed on the bottom wall of the tray parallel with the associated side wall, and which is to support the core; and a height H1 of a slit bottom portion of the first slit of each of the side walls and a height H2 of a slit bottom portion of the second slit of each of the first side plates as measured from the bottom wall of the tray with the pair of first side plates disposed on the bottom wall parallel with the respective side walls satisfy a relationship H2>H1.
