         7 . The storage package according to  claim 1 , wherein when a distance between two adjacent points in which the loop shapes of the string-like material cross is represented by a (mm) and an outer diameter of the string-like material is represented by d (mm) in the innermost circumference side of the storage container, such that a relationship of d<a<10d is satisfied. 
     
     
         8 . The storage package according to  claim 1 , wherein a height of the tubular core rod is 100% to 150% of a highest lamination height of the laminated string-like material. 
     
     
         9 . The storage package according to  claim 1 , wherein the string-like material is a hollow string. 
     
     
         10 . The storage package according to  claim 1 , wherein the string-like material is a hollow braided string. 
     
     
         11 . The storage package according to  claim 1 , wherein a storage starting end of the string-like material is disposed in a position which is at least higher than a highest lamination height of the laminated string-like material. 
     
     
         12 . The storage package according to  claim 11 , wherein the storage starting end of the string-like material protrudes outside the storage container. 
     
     
         13 . A method for storing a string-like material, the method comprising the steps of:
 rotating a storage container such that string-like materials disposed in the container cross at a certain position while the storage container is rotated twice;   deviating a disposition trajectory of a the string-like material formed during one period T (second) of a periodic change of a rotational speed R (rpm) in a rotational direction of the storage container or in a direction opposite to the rotational direction; and   setting a supply speed v (m/minute) of the string-like material, one period T (second), and the rotational speed R (rpm) of the storage container so that an average rotational speed R a  (rpm) of the storage container during one period T (second) satisfies Equation (1):
