A packing device for protecting an item housed in a container essentially consisting of a plurality of shock absorbing elements, each having an integral recess along one of its sides, and a loop of stretchable elastomeric cord which frictionally interfits within the recess. Preferably, the cushioning elements are of a resilient and non-abrasive foam material adapted and configured to be removably snap-fitted onto the cord at desired positions. In use, and depending on the desired packaging configuration, the cord with the cushioning elements attached is stretched either about an item to be shipped within a single container, or about an inner container which is then snugly fitted (i.e., with a tight fit) within an outer container. The invention can also be practiced by placing the device about an item or container to be shipped, and not employing additional outside packaging about the mounted packing device.

CM,1. A shipping pack for cushionably protecting an object, said pack comprising: a plurality of shock-absorbing cushioning elements of resilient material defining an integral recess along the length of at least one side thereof, said recess having a restriction of a first dimension and a central portion of a second greater dimension for receiving a cord; and a stretchable continuous elastomeric cord when exhibits resilient elongation during stretching of at least twenty percent and is interfitted within the central portion of said recess and held therein by said restriction; said plurality of cushioning elements being removably and adjustably positionable in spaced-apart relation along said elastomeric cord, whereby said cord may be stretched manually to surround an object to be protected and said cushioning elements may be adjusted to provide spaced-apart cushioned regions on a said object.
