Acupuncture needle packaging method and acupuncture needle

A method of acupuncture needle packaging, comprising:

• inserting an acupuncture needle body of an acupuncture needle that includes an acupuncture needle handle at an upper portion thereof into an acupuncture needle tube starting from the acupuncture needle handle;
• disposing the acupuncture needle in the acupuncture needle tube in a state in which the upper portion of the acupuncture needle handle is exposed to an exterior of the acupuncture needle tube;
• inserting a pressing jig into an interior of the acupuncture needle tube to press the upper portion of the acupuncture needle handle downward;
• irradiating a laser using a laser generator to an area where the acupuncture needle tube and the acupuncture needle handle abut each other, with the acupuncture needle horizontally disposed within the acupuncture needle tube;
• and
• coupling the acupuncture needle handle and the acupuncture needle tube by thermally deforming the area where the acupuncture needle tube and the acupuncture needle handle abut each other with a heat that is generated at the acupuncture needle handle due to the laser irradiated with the laser generator.
