crushproof

Won't cave in

Crushproof describes something designed or constructed to resist being crushed under pressure or weight.

The term appears most often on packaging—a crushproof box protects fragile contents during shipping.

Cigarette cases are marketed as crushproof to keep the contents intact in a pocket or purse.

The crushproof container survived the trip in my luggage.
