Abstract
The present invention provides a process for packing a drum-shaped electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising the steps of folding a wrapping-start edge portion of a light-shielding packing sheet outwardly in a diametrical direction of the photoreceptor across a width of the packing sheet, and wrapping the packing sheet on a circumferential surface of the photoreceptor. The packing process of the present invention enables an electrophotographic photoreceptor, which has a small diameter, or has a soft surface and is susceptible to scratching, to be packed without forming scratches on its surface and decreasing its photosensitivity.
