To provide a packaging method with an improved multi-monodose container covering a molded structure with a hermetically-sealable overwrap.SOLUTION: A method includes: a step which is for covering a molded structure 610 with a hermetically-sealable overwrap, in which the molded structure 610 includes a first part 620 and a second part 630, the first part 620 includes a row of interconnected monodose pharmaceutical vials, each of the interconnected monodose pharmaceutical vials encloses a dose of one pharmaceutical agent, and the second part 630 is affixed to the first part 620 and the second part 630 has a textured surface pattern 650 positioned to direct gas flow between the first part 620 and a region adjacent to the second part 630; a step for exhausting air from surroundings of the molded structure 610, the exhausted air flowing over the textured surface pattern 650 of the second part 630; a step for forming a hermetic seal around the row of interconnected monodose pharmaceutical vials 600; and a step for separating the second part 630 of the molded structure 610 from the first part 620 of the molded structure 610.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】成形構造を密封用上包みで覆う多連単回用量容器の改良されたパッケージング方法を提供する。【解決手段】成形構造６１０を密封用上包みで覆う工程であって、成形構造６１０は第１部分６２０および第２部分６３０を備え、第１部分６２０は１回服用分の薬剤をそれぞれが収容した一続きの連結型単回用量薬剤バイアルを含み、第２部分６３０は第１部分６２０に取り付けられており、第２部分６３０はさらに第１部分６２０と第２部分６３０に隣接する領域との間にガス流を導くテクスチャ表面パターン６５０を有する工程と、成形構造６１０の周囲から空気を排出する工程であって、排出される空気は、第２部分６３０のテクスチャ表面パターン６５０の上を流れる工程と、一続きの連結型単回用量薬剤バイアル６００の周囲に気密シールを形成する工程と、成形構造６１０の第２部分６３０を成形構造６１０の第１部分６２０から分離させる工程と、を含む。【選択図】図６
