A shipping container of molded plastic in whose cavity a load is suspended between sets of three rubber straps diverging from the load toward respective rigid base members on the shell in angularly offset planes, the central strap of each set being less resilient than the two other straps. The straps impede transmission of mechanical shock from the shell to load, and their different resiliencies prevent build-up of load oscillations. The shell protects the load against harmful effects of the atmosphere.
