Abstract: In a welding wire container, an inner cylinder is inserted inside a bottomed outer cylinder, a pedestal is disposed at a bottom of the inner cylinder, and a bag formed by a resin film is disposed between the outer and inner cylinders. A welding wire is received around an axis of the inner cylinder while being dropped in a coiled state. An upper end portion of the resin film bag is closed to seal the welding wire together with the inner cylinder within the bag. When the container is lifted by grasping holder portions, the weight of the welding wire is borne by means of a belt, whereby the container can be transported easily. Further, the welding wire container has a cap which has been subjected to machining for opening the cap. With this welding wire container, the recovery cost is low or it is possible to eliminate the need of recovery, and the entry of water and moisture from the outside can be prevented, thus permitting a long-term storage of the welding wire.
