The present invention is directed to a method of producing a container for holding a columnar member in a cylindrical housing with a shock absorbent member wrapped around the columnar member. The method comprises the steps of (1) compressing at least a part of the absorbent member wrapped around the columnar member, by a pushing member in a radial direction toward the longitudinal axis, (2) measuring a pressure applied to the absorbent member by the pushing member, (3) measuring a distance between the axis of the columnar member and an end of the pushing member contacting the absorbent member, when the measured pressure substantially equals a predetermined target pressure, to provide a target radius, (4) inserting the columnar member and the absorbent member into the housing loosely, and (5) reducing a diameter of the housing along its longitudinal axis, with the absorbent member being compressed, to such an extent that the inner radius of the housing substantially equals the target radius, to hold the columnar member and the absorbent member compressed at the target pressure, in the housing.
