Handles For Paper Packaging

It is essential to add a handle to the package if you want a packaging box or shopping bag to function as a carrier. Different types of handles made from various materials can be added to cardboard packages to create new and unique packaging solutions.

Adding a handle to a paper box or paper bag can provide several benefits, including:

• Convenience: A handle allows for easy and comfortable carrying of the paper box or bag, making it more convenient for customers to transport their purchases or belongings.
• Durability: A handle can help to distribute weight more evenly across the box or bag, reducing the likelihood of tearing or damage.
• Professional appearance: A well-designed and sturdy handle can add to the overall appearance and perceived quality of the paper box or bag, making it more attractive to customers.
• Branding: A handle can also be used as an additional branding opportunity, providing a space to display the company logo or other branding information.
• Reusability: A paper bag or box with a sturdy handle can be reused multiple times, providing additional value and reducing waste.

At Shanghai Box Packing Solution, we offer three primary types of handles: paper handles, plastic handles, nylon handles, and PP leather handles.

Paper Handles

The paper handle is made from paper material and is mostly used for paper bags. The handle is usually white in color, but customized color printing is available for orders with quantities over 30,000 pieces. The paper handle has several advantages, including being eco-friendly, recyclable, lightweight, and fashionable.

Twisted paper handles: These are made by twisting two or more pieces of paper together to create a strong and durable handle.

Flat paper handles: These are made by folding a piece of paper in half and gluing the two ends to the bag. They are often used on smaller paper bags.

Die-cut handles: These are cut directly into the paper bag itself, creating a handle that is flush with the bag’s surface.

Plastic Handle

Plastic handles are mostly used in corrugated boxes and paper boxes. They are made using an injection mold and can come in thousands of shapes. Some basic forms of plastic handles include oval plastic handles, body-based plastic handles, and plastic handles with screws. Plastic handles have been applied in electronic product paper boxes, lightweight gift boxes, and Kraft paper boxes.

There are several types of plastic handles that can be used for paper packaging, depending on the intended use and design. Some common types of plastic handles used for paper packaging include:

Flexiloop handles: These are made by creating a loop from a narrow strip of plastic and attaching it to the paper bag. They are often used on larger paper bags.

Patch handles: These are made by attaching a rectangular piece of plastic to the paper bag, creating a reinforced handle.

Rigid loop handles: These are made from a rigid plastic material and are attached to the paper bag using a set of reinforced holes.

Tube handles: These are made from a plastic tube and are attached to the paper bag by threading them through a set of reinforced holes.

T-shirt handles: These are made from a continuous plastic strip and are attached to the paper bag by punching holes through the bag and threading the handle through.

Nylon Handle

A nylon handle made from nylon is typically used for small corrugated gift boxes, paper carry bags, and box-shaped bags. The advantages of a nylon handle include durability, strength, and flexibility. They are available in different colors and can be customized according to the customer’s requirements.

Some common types of nylon handles that can be used for paper packaging include:

Webbing handles: These are made from woven nylon webbing material and are typically sewn onto the paper bag.

Adjustable shoulder straps: These are made from nylon material and are attached to the paper bag using reinforced stitching or metal eyelets. They are often used for larger paper bags that are designed to be carried over the shoulder.

Buckle handles: These are made from nylon material and feature a buckle that allows the handle to be adjusted in length. They are often used on paper bags that are designed to carry heavier items.

PP Leather Handle

The PP leather handle is made from a combination of plastic and leather, making it extremely durable and flexible. It can bear the heaviest weight among all the handle types. Our team at Box Packing Solution has applied this type of handle to heavy-duty wine boxes, luxury wine gift boxes, and rigid cardboard boxes. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the packaging, making it suitable for high-end products.

Some common types of PP leather handles used for paper packaging include:

Flat handles: These are made by attaching a strip of PP leather to the paper bag using adhesive or stitching.

Rolled handles: These are made by rolling a strip of PP leather into a cylindrical shape and attaching it to the paper bag using adhesive or stitching.

Braided handles: These are made by braiding multiple strips of PP leather together and attaching them to the paper bag using adhesive or stitching.

Woven handles: These are made by weaving strips of PP leather together and attaching them to the paper bag using adhesive or stitching.

Oval Plastic Handle

From its name, you can tell that this handle is oval-shaped and mainly used for carrying corrugated boxes. It is installed into a hole and ready to be used for carrying. It is inexpensive and practical. This type of handle is commonly used in corrugated boxes, heavy-duty watermelon boxes, moving boxes, and storage boxes.

Silk Ribbon

We offer custom printing services for all silk ribbons or bands based on your specific requests.
