A shipping container (10) comprises a floor (12) and an upright rear wall (14) that intersect at approximately a right angle for vertically supporting a plurality of parallel panels such as insulating glass units, with the edges of the panels being supported by the floor (12) and the rear wall (14). Elastic restraining means comprising a plurality of elongated, elastic restraints (70), such as elastic cords, are carried by the container (10) and are positioned so as to encounter a respective panel and to elastically urge that panel toward said intersection. Each elongated elastic restraint (70) extends generally in the plane of its respective panel from the rear wall (14) above the floor to the floor (12) forwardly of the rear wall (14), the restraint (70) contacting and elastically pressing against the upper, forward corner of the glass unit.
