For a liquid container provided with a handle portion, some contrivance is necessary with respect to the distribution form from the standpoint of protecting the liquid container against breakage. In a packaging tray for an ink container, the ink container having a flexible ink bag, a supply portion provided in the ink bag, and a handle portion provided in the ink bag and protruding outward therefrom, the packaging tray includes a restricting portion that restricts the handle portion at such a position that a clearance is maintained between the supply portion of the ink container and the packaging tray.
