Abstract: A shock-resistant container consists of a container body dimensioned to receive a shock-sensitive object. An elastomeric element having a peripheral lip and a central shock-absorbing pedestal is placed within the container upon the inserted object and extends substantially across the inside diameter of the container in a non-wall-contacting configuration. The cover is engageable with the elastomeric element and causes the peripheral lip to engage the side wall and the cover to contact the pedestal, resulting in the elastomeric element being retained in a contents-sealing and shock absorbing configuration between the cover and the enclosed object.
