In a collapsible polymeric yarn carrier having at least one end flange, a transfer tail receiving structure comprises a groove formed in the end flange for receiving the windings of the transfer tail, a thin protective layer of material overlying and covering the groove, a cut or overlapping seam in the layer of material overlying the groove to allow a transfer tail winding to pass through the material and be wound in the groove, and a pair of boundary surfaces on the flange on each side of the groove and containing an annular ridge in each boundary surface to facilitate securing the layer of material in place over the groove.
