ABSTRACT:
A packaging system for protecting the uppermost ends of a plurality of elongated, upright products includes a case having a floor on which the products stand in a preset pattern and side walls extending upwardly from the floor. A collar maintains the products in the preset pattern and includes a base provided with a preset pattern of holes matching the preset pattern of the products such that the uppermost ends are received through the holes and such that the base positively rests on the upper portions of the products at a predetermined height. The collar also includes upstanding sides projecting from a periphery of the base, the sides having a height from the base which is greater than a distance of the uppermost ends of the products from the base. A top is further provided for the case which is supported by the side walls. A support element resting on the base is located between the products for maintaining the top of the case separated from the uppermost ends as the support element has a height from the base which is greater than a distance of the uppermost ends of the products from the base. Conveniently, the support element is formed of a single strip formed into a squared tooth shape.
