The lid member is achieved by a fluorescent lamp packaging container comprising a lid flap for covering the surface and an inner flap connected to an insertion piece for insertion between the plurality of arc tube tip portions. The

  Here, two inner flaps connected to the insertion piece may be provided, and the two inner flaps may be provided facing each other. The length of the insertion piece in the vertical direction is preferably in the range of 5 mm to 15 mm. Moreover, it is preferable that the lateral width of the insertion piece is set so that one of the lateral ends of the insertion piece comes into contact with one of the arc tubes when the fluorescent lamp is accommodated. Further, the lid flap and the inner flap may have leak check windows that overlap each other.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a fluorescent lamp packaging container for accommodating a single-piece fluorescent lamp having good packaging workability and high cushioning properties without using a conventional cushioning material as a separate member. Can do. As a result, the fluorescent lamp can be accommodated with good stability even though there is no cushioning material in the packaging container, and can receive a sufficient buffering action against an external impact.
