A telescoping shipping container for fragile articles and formed of corrugated sheet material includes an upper portion and a lower portion, each respectively having an upper end and a lower end with standard flap closure. The upper portion telescopes completely over the lower portion, to effectively double the thickness of the side walls of the package. The inner/lower portion includes a complete lining of resilient foam padding for further protection of articles contained therein; the inside of the upper lid is also similarly lined. By forming each portion of double plies or laminates of corrugated material, the sides of the closed package or container effectively include four corrugated layers, which along with the resilient foam lining, provides superior protection against penetration and damage to the package. The corrugated material may be cardboard, plastic, or other suitable sheet material capable of being similarly formed. A reusable seal or closure is included so that the package may be reused, if desired. The packaging is particularly valuable for the shipping of personal computers and related components, but may be used for shipment of virtually any fragile article, depending upon the specific interior padding used.
