Pellets comprising polymer and package containing the same

Pellets satisfying all of the following requirements (Z), (1), (2), (3) and (4):

• (Z) the pellet comprises a polymer (A) having an elastic modulus in tension (an initial elastic modulus as measured by a method in accordance with ASTM D-638-03) of 100 MPa or less;
• (1) the pellets have an average weight per 30 pellets in the range of 0.80 to 2.00 g;
• (2) the pellets have a particle size distribution obtained by sieving in which pellets providing a maximum weight fraction account for 90 to 100% of the pellets;
• (3) the pellets have a Lave/Dave value in the range of 1.00 to 1.5 wherein Lave and Dave are averages of the length L and the diameter D, respectively, of randomly selected 20 pellets and the length and the diameter are determined such that the length is larger than the diameter;
• and
• (4) the pellets have a blocking force of 35 N or less as measured in a testing in which the blocking force is measured after the pellets are left under a load at 35° C. for 24 hours and further at −10° C. for 7 days.
