         8 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the first collar portion comprises:
 an inner layer;   an outer layer; and   an intermediate layer that spaces the inner layer away from the outer layer to define the pocket between the inner layer and the outer layer.   
     
     
         9 . The packaging of  claim 8 , wherein the intermediate layer comprises multiple layers. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the first collar portion and the second collar portion are formed of paper. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging of  claim 10 , wherein the first collar portion and the second collar portion are formed of paperboard. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein one of the first collar portion or the second collar portion includes a molded fiber portion. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging of  claim 1 , further comprising a third collar portion configured to conform to a periphery of a third product portion,
 wherein an arm of the third collar portion is receivable in the pocket to couple the first collar portion and the third collar portion, and   wherein the first collar portion is movable relative to the third collar portion while the arm of the third collar portion is received in the pocket.   
     
     
         14 . The packaging of  claim 1 , further comprising a third collar portion configured to conform to a periphery of a third product portion,
 wherein the third collar portion defines a pocket, and   wherein the arm of the second collar portion is receivable in the pocket of the third collar portion to couple the first collar portion and the third collar portion, and   wherein the third collar portion is movable relative to the second collar portion while the second collar portion is received in the pocket of the third collar portion.   
     
     
         15 . A system, comprising:
 the packaging of  claim 1 ; and   a product,   wherein the product includes the first product portion and the second product portion, and wherein the first product portion is movable relative to the first product portion.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the assembled collar is positioned within a closed loop of the product. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the product inhibits the arm of the second collar portion from moving out of the pocket. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the product is a head-mounted display, the first product portion is a viewing portion of the head-mounted display, and the second product portion is a strap portion of the head-mounted display,
 wherein the assembled collar is disposed within a closed loop formed by the viewing portion and the strap portion, and   wherein the assembled collar supports the head-mounted display by maintaining a space within the closed loop formed by the viewing portion and the strap portion.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the first product portion is more rigid than the second product portion. 
     
     
         20 . Packaging comprising:
 a first collar portion configured to conform to a periphery of a first product portion; and   a second collar portion configured to conform to a periphery of a second product portion;   wherein the first collar portion defines a first pocket and a second pocket,   wherein a first arm of the second collar portion is receivable in the first pocket, and a second arm of the second collar portion is receivable in the second pocket, to form an assembled collar,   wherein the assembled collar forms a closed loop, and   wherein the assembled collar resists inward deflection.   
     
     
         21 . The packaging of  claim 20 , wherein the first pocket and the second pocket are positioned on opposite sides of the first collar portion.
