There is provided a method for manufacturing an electronic component package, wherein a first electronic component and a second electronic component are placed on a carrier, and a sealing resin layer is formed on the carrier, followed by the carrier being peeled away to be removed, and thereby providing a package precursor in which the first and second electronic components are embedded such that an electrode of at least one of the first and second electronic components is exposed at a surface of the sealing resin layer. Upon the placing of the first and second electronic components, the first and second electronic components are positioned such that their height levels differ from each other. After the removal of the carrier, a metal plating layer is formed such that the metal plating layer is in contact with the exposed surface of the electrode of the at least one of the first and second electronic components.
