Abstract
We present monotonicity theorems for index functions of $N$-fuctions, and obtain formulas for exact values of packing constants. In particular, we show that the Orlicz sequence space $l^{(N)}$ generated by the $N$-function $N(v)=(1+|v|)\mathop {\rm ln}\nolimits (1+|v|)-|v|$ with Luxemburg norm has the Kottman constant $K(l^{(N)})={N^{-1}(1)}/{N^{-1}({1}/{2})}$, which answers M. M. Rao and Z. D. Ren's [8] problem.
