You are interested in a box that can be easily carried and transported by hand due to its design? Then a carry handle box is exactly the right choice.

Well designed packaging solution

Carry handle boxes are folding boxes with a handle. The box is opened and closed at the top of the handle. Since it is easy to stand up, it is also well suited for the presentation of products. For this purpose, an additional die-cut viewing window is useful, which allows a view inside.

A carry handle box is especially recommended when something needs to be transported. Due to its sophisticated structure and corresponding punchings, it is designed to be carried. In a typical carry handle box, the carry handle is located on the top of the box and is created by a molded die-cut in the closure flaps that is at least a hand's width.

The carry handle can be made of only one thickness of material or two layers, one on top of the other. This doubled design is very stable and is therefore best suited for a robust carry handle box.

Your handle box is easier to transport and provides a professional "unboxing" experience. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials and styles to ensure you find a box that fits your needs.

The intelligent packaging

Handle boxes are the most popular type of custom boxes in the packaging world. This is because handle boxes are flexible and can be designed in different ways to suit the occasion.

The construction variants of carry handle packaging are diverse: depending on the contents to be transported and the intended purpose of the folding carton with carry handle, the box is designed differently. Most of them are punched in one piece and glued on the sides.

The format of the carry handle boxes depends entirely on the size and weight of the products to be packed. The choice of the type of bottom depends on the weight resulting from these products.

Packaging can become an eye-catcher and advertising medium. Interesting solutions attract the attention of customers, business partners and congress participants. Brochures, sweets, drinks such as wine and sparkling wine or other foodstuffs can be safely presented with carry handle boxes.

In the future, smart packaging could help tackle the problem of food and resource waste.

The sturdy cardboard box with carrying handle is available in three variants

1. With plug-in bottom: The plug-in bottom is characterized by its robustness and good stability. It consists of one tab on each of the four sides of the bottom opening. These tabs hook into each other when folded in, forming a stable bottom.

   The Carrying handle box with snap-lock base is particularly stable, very resilient and impresses with its good stability. Since there is a tab on each of the four sides of the base, they can be folded inwards. So they can be easily hooked into each other and lock each other.

2. With automatic bottom: The automatic bottom is often called patent bottom, flash bottom or folding bottom The bottom variant is ideal for heavier products and product packaging that must be set up quickly. The carrying handle box with crash-lock base is glued to the bottom closure and is therefore very stable. The folding box opens automatically when erected, allowing quick filling.

   The easy-to-fold, sturdy cardboard bags with handle get extra support from their design. When the box with handle is filled, the folding bottom automatically erects. Packing is particularly fast.

3. With tuck-in flap: The carry handle box is quickly and easily closed at the bottom opening with a tuck-in flap. The carry handle box with tuck-in flap is suitable for lighter contents.

The closure technology for all variants consists of elongated

Carry handle flaps that are folded over each other to close the opening. Secure closure is then achieved by slipping the slotted side flaps over the carrying handle flaps.

As with all other boxes, there is no standard here. All carry handle boxes are individually adapted to your wishes and the products to be packaged. This means that new types of carry handle boxes are constantly being created. Ultimately, all versions have one thing in common: they are made of cardboard, are printed, possibly refined and have a carrying handle in the upper area of the box. 

It's up to you to decide whether this will later be used as a carrying handle or only as a closure variant for an attractive box. Carry handle boxes made of cardboard can be found in many industries today.

They are also called lunch boxes, exhibition cases, cardboard cases or cardboard boxes and are elegant, high-quality and at the same time stable packaging solutions for your products.

This type of boxes can be used in many ways. The cardboard box is ideal for trade shows: Such practical folding boxes with carrying handle can hold both product samples and information materials. In this way, the contents can be conveniently transported and as a company you enjoy an additional advertising effect at the trade fair, because they are an eye-catcher at trade fairs and exhibitions, in the store or for presenting product samples and info materials.

In addition, they facilitate the transport of products and offer added value for their users in their form and due to their resealability. For promotions, the trade show case offers everything the advertiser could want - an attractive design, the surprise effect when opened, and plenty of space for printing.

Advantages of a carrying handle for box packaging

1. Let's start with the main advantage: the extra handle makes it easier to carry boxes. Whether it's a small box or industrial size packaging, it takes up so much space that it's hard to carry. With handles, you can easily carry larger and lighter boxes. This facilitates transportation and delivery

2. When customizing crates, you can place the handles anywhere you like as long as the balance of the crate is maintained. Various new options for the position of the handles can create an unusual look Sometimes, however, you have to compromise on the placement of the handles.

3. If you don't like the material, you can change it - whether it's the cardboard or the thickness that you don't like. You can also determine the size of the handles yourself, as well as suitable dimensions Even larger boxes should not be a challenge here.

4. The handles can be designed in different ways. Office boxes have a rather plain approach. Here you can attach pocket handles to the sides. They are easy to carry and do not cut into the fingers.

5. Children's party boxes and book boxes, on the other hand, can have funky and creative handles. For party boxes, you can add handles in different shapes. For example, to arouse the curiosity of children die-cuts of characters from trendy cartoons.

6. Refined luxury boxes for more expensive products can be refined You can change not only the material, but also the styling.

Set marketing standards

Who would not like to score with boxes that have well-designed handles? For example, you can also choose a basic design and make it the trademark of your company. Customers could thus recognize the products from afar.

In today's "product jungle" you can stand out on the market and draw positive attention to yourself, increase the reputation of your brand or secure the image of your brand against competitors.
