PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a material-to-be-packaged compression-casting method and apparatus which can make a volume sufficiently small and allows for high-speed operation by maintaining a balance between a time required for compression process and a time required for filling and packaging process.SOLUTION: While one of a compression part 21A and a compression part 21B is shifted from a cast position to an off-set position in order to compress a material to be packaged, the other of the compression part 21A and the compression part 21B has compressed a material to be packaged and reaches a position just above a filling tube 105, supplying the compressed material to be packaged into the filling tube 105 by opening shutter plates 13, 13 and lowering a poker 61. After supplying the compressed material into the filling tube 105, the other compression part receives a drop feed of a material to be compressed next with the shutter plates 13, 13 closed. During the first to eighth processes, a material to be pa
