A shipping package for accommodating a box-like object such as a drawer-type storage unit. The shipping package includes substantially identical top and bottom trays which respectively extend over top and bottom ends of the furniture unit, and a set of four corner posts which embrace vertically extending corners of the furniture unit and have opposite ends engaged with the trays. The corner posts comprise elongate L-shaped members which are hollow in cross-section and are relatively rigid to permit transmission of vertical stacking loads therethrough. The bottom tray mounts therein a load-bearing insert structure which includes two inserts, each formed from a one-piece corrugated fiber-board blank, with the inserts being secured within the tray and having raised upper surfaces which are in load-bearing engagement with the bottom frame of the furniture unit. The inserts also have appropriate recesses for accommodating legs or casters provided on the furniture unit. The top tray has a pair of shock-absorbing inserts secured therein and disposed in supportive engagement with the upper surface of the furniture unit. The entire shipping package is appropriately secured, such as by plastic stretch wrap and plastic banding.
