A transport formation 1 for receiving a plurality of bottles 60 for pharmaceutical medical or cosmetic purposes under non-sterile conditions is composed of a receiving part 10 and of a bearing part 30 connected releasably to the latter wherein the receiving part 10 has a plurality of frustoconical receivers 14 in a regular arrangement such that the bottles 60 can be received in the receivers of the receiving part in an upright position and without direct contact between adjacent bottles. The transport formation has locking formations 21 23 for releasably locking the receiving part to the bearing part. According to the invention the receivers 14 are adapted to the height of the bottles such that the bottles 60 can be received fully inside the latter wherein the bearing part 30 is composed of a base plate 31 with a flat bearing surface facing towards the receivers such that after the locking has been released the bottles 60 can be moved freely on the bearing surface of the base plate 31 and by displacement of the receiving part 10 relative to the bearing part 30 can be pushed by the bearing part. Receiving part and/or bearing part can be designed cost-effectively in one piece by thermoforming of a plastic in particular by thermoforming of a thin film or a thin-film sheet.
