1. A method for manufacturing a container, the method comprising:
filling the container with contents; and
forming information on the container which is filled with the contents,
wherein the forming is performed on a surface of the container by applying a laser beam so as to integrally form a second pattern on the surface, a collection of the second patterns forming a first pattern representing the information including at least one of a number, a letter, and an image,
wherein the information to be formed on the container is formed by:
obtaining a name of a parameter file by reading a correspondence table which includes multiple parameter file names,
reading the parameter file, and
forming the information on the container in correspondence with processing parameters which are included in the parameter file,
wherein the processing parameters included within the parameter file include:
a type of the second pattern,
a periodicity,
an interval,
a thickness, and
a processing depth.
