The invention discloses a supporting element used for shock absorber core packaging. The supporting element is composed of multiple supporting blocks of a hollow cube framework structure, side plates of the supporting blocks are provided with multiple U-shaped clamping bases, each U-shaped clamping base is located on one side or the left side and the right side of the corresponding supporting block, openings of the U-shaped clamping bases on the adjacent supporting blocks are oppositely arranged, and accordingly the two U-shaped clamping bases on the adjacent supporting blocks form a fixed clamping base. The packaging supporting element has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly and firm and reliable to package, and is particularly suitable for packaging support of Macpherson shock absorber cores.
