Abstract: The present invention relates to: a packaging strap coil and its production method, wherein the innermost strap end is securely fixed to prevent un-winding thereof and the strap can be smoothly drawn out to the innermost end for strap-packaging of an item; a packaging strap coil unit which prevents deformation of the strap coil; and a packaging machine. The strap coil 11 comprises a number of layers of a resin packaging strap 11a wound helically and carelessly around a hollow 11b defining the axis of the strap coil 11. The strap 11a is made of a thermoplastic resin at least on its external surface. In the strap coil 11, a plurality of perforations 11d are pierced in the vicinity of an innermost end of the strap 11a through to a plurality of laminated layers. Each perforation 11d provides a melt-bonded area 11e along its periphery to bond the laminated layers of the strap 11a together.
