Disclosed herein is a container for shipping disk-shaped articles. The container comprises a cassette comprising a top opening, a plurality of dividers that define slots therebetween for receiving disk-shaped articles and constraining lateral movement of the disk-shaped articles, and pads for supporting the disk-shaped articles and constraining downward vertical movement of the disk-shaped articles. The container also comprises a top lid coupleable to the cassette over the top opening and comprising resiliently flexible fins. When the top lid is fully coupled to the cassette, the disk-shaped articles are supported on the pads, and the container is not shrink-wrapped, an unoccupied gap is defined between the resiliently flexible fins and the disk-shaped articles. When the top lid is fully coupled to the cassette, the disk-shaped articles are supported on the pads, and the container is shrink-wrapped, the resiliently flexible fins contact and are flexed against the disk-shaped articles.
