A secure container cover for a container and manufacturing method therefore are provided. The secure container cover includes an integrally molded body with an annular structure and a side wall. The annular structure includes a central void defined by an intermediate perimeter, and a graspable loop integrally formed with the annular structure is configured to reside within the central void. A tear initiation point is formed where the graspable loop joins the annular structure. A thin section extends from the tear initiation point to a bottom edge of the side wall. The graspable loop is detachably connected to the annular structure at a bridging section. The bridging section is configured to break when an upward biasing force is applied to the graspable loop, and the side wall is configured to separate along the thin section when the graspable loop is pulled away from the body of the secure container cover.

The present disclosure may include systems for presenting, organizing, and securing collectable or stored items including drink containers. In one implementation, an apparatus is provided that includes a container securing member that has multiple container securing elements. The apparatus also includes a support member structurally connected to the container securing elements and further includes at least one mounting point for mounting to a structural support. The container securing elements span at least a diameter of a container lid, and an underside portion of the container securing elements may include various detents configured to receive and secure a container. Other related systems and methods of manufacturing are also described.

A container carrier for unitizing a plurality of containers includes a network of molded ribs forming a plurality of container receiving openings formed in a first plane and a plurality of radial tabs positioned within each container receiving opening. A plurality of raised rings are each formed over each container receiving opening and formed in a second plane. A band may be formed over each raised ring in the second plane and a rail may be positioned on an underside of the container carrier between each pair of container receiving openings.
