Shipping container systems

A container system comprising:

• an outer container;
• and
• a suspension insert;
• wherein the outer container has a first closure flap hingedly connected to a top end of one of the plurality of upstanding walls opposite the base wherein the first closure flap overlays the base and substantially covers an opening formed by the top ends of the upstanding walls and wherein the first closure flap includes one or more folding flaps that extend downward engaging with the plurality of suspension units when the folding flaps extend down into a space between the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of suspension units when the outer container is in a closed configuration;
• and
• wherein the suspension insert including a product retention compartment defining a volume, the product retention compartment comprising a top section connected to a bottom section and a pair of opposing ends, each of the top section and the bottom section formed from a rigid material, wherein the top section and the bottom section are joined at a seam in the lower section, the seam extending along a length of the product retention compartment, wherein the product retention compartment is a marquise-shaped compartment formed by a tension created by the seam pulling tension across a width of the top section, the product retention compartment further comprising a closure flap at each end of the product retention compartment wherein each closure flap is a marquise-shaped flap hingedly connected to the bottom section of the product retention compartment that can be folded into a closed position to selectively close the product retention compartment, and wherein the product retention compartment comprises
• a plurality of suspension units extending outwardly from each end of the product retention compartment, and wherein the plurality of suspension units each have a first portion of the suspension unit proximate to and extending from the top section of the product retention compartment extending the first portion of the suspension unit downward toward the bottom section of the product retention compartment and terminating at a fold and a second portion of the suspension unit extending from the fold in upwards towards the top section of the product retention compartment, wherein the suspension unit is compressed towards the product retention compartment when the suspension insert is installed in an outer container, wherein a width of the suspension unit is greater than a width of the product retention compartment and the suspension unit extends past each side of the product retention compartment, and wherein a height of the suspension unit is greater than a height of the product retention compartment, and wherein a length of the suspension insert including the suspension units is greater than a length of the product retention compartment, thereby creating a suspension gap on all sides of the product retention compartment when the suspension insert is installed in the outer container.
