Abstract: This invention offers welding wire packages without twining and tangling even if welding wire is drawn out from pail containers in high speed, and also without bending set of the wire. Namely, in a welding wire package in which welding wire with torsion is packed as heaped loops, a wire pressing member is disposed on top of the heaped loops, wherein the wire pressing member comprises a loop pressing part for pressing the heaped loops of the welding wire, and a wire guiding part having a hole of not more than 180 mm in diameter in a center of the wire pressing member for passage of the welding wire.
