A method of packaging a power light emitting diode (LED). The method may include providing a printed circuit board (PCB) wherein first and second copper (Cu) thin films are formed on both faces of the PCB respectively, forming a single upper opening through an entire thickness of the first Cu thin film and an partial thickness of the PCB, forming a plurality of lower openings, each lower opening extending vertically from the upper opening to the second Cu thin film, forming solder pads on the first Cu thin film, filing a cream solder in the upper opening and the plurality of lower openings so as to be in-plane with the solder pads, mounting a power LED on the PCB so that lead frames of the LED are aligned with the solder pads and a heat-discharge region of the LED is aligned with the cream solder, and soldering the cream solder.
