Transportation collar for shipping a container

A transportation collar, comprising;

• a ring having a central longitudinal axis and including:
• a base wall extending transversely and radially inwardly with respect to the axis,
• an annular skirt extending in a first axial direction axially away from the base wall, and
• a diametrically extending handle;
• and
• a peripheral impact barrier extending radially outwardly from the ring adapted to position both the transportation collar and a container carrier by the collar relative to one or more additional adjacent transportation collars and one or more additional corresponding containers, wherein the peripheral impact barrier comprises a flange wall extending transversely with respect to the axis.

A transportation collar, comprising:

• a ring having a central longitudinal axis and including:
• a base wall extending transversely with respect to the axis, comprising:
• a planar portion extending radially inwardly with respect to the axis, and
• a stepped portion extending radially inwardly from the planar portion and extending at least partially in a first axial direction;
• a first annular skirt extending in the first axial direction axially away from the base wall, and
• a second annular skirt extending in a second, opposite axial direction away from the base wall;
• and
• a peripheral impact barrier extending radially outwardly from the ring such that the peripheral impact barrier extends radially outwardly of the base wall and the first and second annular skirt and having a radially outer periphery that is non-circular with respect to the central longitudinal axis.

• a diametrically extending handle;
• and
• a peripheral impact barrier extending radially outwardly from the ring.

A transportation collar, comprising:

• a ring having a central longitudinal axis and including
• a base wall extending transversely with respect to the axis and including a planar portion and a stepped portion extending radially inwardly from the planar portion and in a first axial direction axially away from the base wall,
• a first annular skirt extending in the first axial direction axially away from the base wall, including a first radially inwardly extending bead, and having a first inner diameter, and
• a second annular skirt extending in a second direction axially away from the base wall, including a second radially inwardly extending bead, and having a second inner diameter larger than the first inner diameter of the first annular skirt;
• a first side with a first contour corresponding to a first package type and at least partially established by a first side of the stepped portion of the base wall and the first annular skirt;
• and
• a second side with a second contour corresponding to a second package type and at least partially established by a second side of the stepped portion of the base wall and the second annular skirt.
