an improved suspension package system in which one or more suspension frames are used to suspend an article within a shipping container , wherein the suspension frame includes a suspension mechanism formed by a plurality of generally concentric cuts forming a plurality of suspension channel members , each cut being interrupted by one or more nicks . the nicks conjoin adjacent channel members , and conjoin an innermost channel member to an optional article platform , and conjoin an outermost channel member to an optional perimeter portion . sidewalls give the suspension frame a 3 - d shape and provide suspension clearance . the article can be sandwiched between two opposing suspension frames . the suspension frame can be formed as a monolithic piece of corrugated containerboard . forming the suspension of corrugated containerboard improves the recyclability of the product , and reduces its manufacturing cost by eliminating the need for purchasing and assembling a plastic suspension sheet . the frame can also be configured as a retention frame .
