To provide a lithographic form plate packaging method capable of reliably protecting a lithographic form plate and preventing the quality of the lithographic form plate from being affected or preventing a packaging material from being damaged, a guide member for packaging the lithographic form plate which is used for this lithographic form plate packaging method, and a lithographic form plate packaging apparatus applied to this lithographic form plate packaging method.

After a guide member 40 for side and a guide member 42 for surface are disposed on an outer side of a laminate bundle 12 of the lithographic form plates, an interior paper 16 is wound in an cylindrical manner. After the winding, the guide member 40 for side and the guide member 42 for surface are pulled out upwardly, and an upper part of the interior paper 16 is folded in so as to overlap an upper surface of the laminate bundle 12. Deviation of the lithographic form plates is prevented by the guide member 40 for side and the guide member 42 for surface when the interior paper 16 is wound, and the interior paper 16 is prevented from being brought into contact with corners or sides of the laminate bundle 12.
