A container for receiving or storing or carrying pistons for injectors, the container having a base plate and hollow cylindrical piston storage parts (the container being hereafter referred to as a piston nest). Each of the hollow cylindrical piston receiving parts is formed either by making it vertically penetrate through the basic plate, with one side of the base plate functioning as one opening end, and project from the other side or by making it vertically penetrate through the base plate and project from both sides of the base plate. Preferably, each piston receiving part has a swelled part where a part of the inner peripheral wall surface of the piston receiving part is swelled inward. The pistons for injectors are received in the piston receiving parts.
