A composite package (100) comprises a plurality of primary packages (102) which are gathered into at least one secondary package (106) that comprises an envelope (104) about at least some of said primary packages (102), and a handle (108), and is characterized in that the handle (108) is mobile between a retracted first position substantially enclosed within said composite package (100), and an extracted second position projecting at least partially from said composite package (100).

This present invention relates to a case or package carrier for holding consumer goods, such as bottles of water, juice, or other beverages or drinks, and enables a user to easily carry and lift the case carrier. The case or package carrier comes with either an integrated handle or a standalone handle, which may be applied by the user to the carrier. Additionally, the handle of the case carrier is made of a durable collapsible plastic which allows the user to save space while storing the cases, as the user can easily stack the cases one on top of the other. The case carrier helps to reduce the strain on the user's back and body due to lifting of the cases.

The present disclosure provides a portable handle assembly for use with one or more secondary packages. The handle assembly includes a base portion. The base portion includes a first handle pocket at a proximal end extended towards a second handle pocket at a distal end. Each of the handle pocket includes a recess having an inward opening and an outward opening. The handle assembly further includes a handle having a gripping portion extended towards a first enclosed portion at the proximal end and towards a second enclosed portion at the distal end. Each of the enclosed portions is adapted to be received within the recess of at least one of the handle pocket such that it is slidingly clamped there within. When a user grasps the handle by lifting up the gripping portion, at least one of the enclosed portion slides out to a locked state and moves back.

A hanging device (16) detachably attached to an opening (28a, 28b) of a package (14), the hanging device (16) including a connection flap (32) and a tote main body (34) connected to the connection flap (32), wherein the connection flap (32) has at least one engagement mechanism (37) that detachably engages with the opening (28a, 28b) of the package (14), the at least one engagement mechanism (37) includes a primary tab (38a, 38b) disposed at the opening (28a, 28b) of the package (14) and an auxiliary tab (40a, 40b) connected to the primary tab (38a, 38b), the primary tab (38a, 38b) is connected to the connection flap (32) in the form of hinge connection along a virtual line, and when the hanging device (16) is developed, the auxiliary tab (40a, 40b) extends from the virtual line in the direction opposite the direction in which the primary tab (38a, 38b) extends.

A method for packaging piece good batches is provided. A transport device transports a plurality of piece goods in particular in the form of a piece good flow in a specified transport direction, and a first wrapping device wraps a film element around the piece goods, the film element having a specified first width. The first wrapping device has a dispensing assembly which circulates around the piece goods, and the piece goods are supplied to the first wrapping device in order to be wrapped with the film element. The piece goods are wrapped with a strip-like element by means of a strip application device, the strip-like element having a smaller width than the film element.

A beverage container interlocking carrier (BCIC) utilizing a container member that is preferably made of plastic, on which beverage containers are placed. The container member is folded upward following contours of the beverage containers. The beverage containers are secured within the BCIC by inserting each beverage neck, with or without a cap, into one of a plurality of container orifices on the container member. After the BCIC is used to package, transport and/or store beverage containers, the container member can be unfolded and the empty beverage containers removed and inserted into and maintained within the orifices prior to recycling. A grasping member allows a folded or unfolded container member to be carried by hand. Or, at least one strap that secures side edges of the BCIC together can be used as a grasping member. Indicia is placed on the container member and is visible on a folded or unfolded BCIC.

A package carrier for holding at least two container packages includes a handle and a plurality of panels including a top panel and at least one attachment panel. The top panel is for attachment to a top of the at least two container packages such that the at least two container packages are joined to the package carrier at the top panel.

The present invention relates to a device and a method (1) for applying gripping handles (M) on packaging films (P), preferably heat shrinkable, that are being supplied on shrinkwrappers (2) for making bundles (F) of food containers (C). The device (1) comprises: an application head (10) provided with an application roller (11) for applying a plurality of handles (M) supplied in the form of a continuous web (12) and subsequently cut into portions, each handle (M) having adhesive ends (E) for engagement with the corresponding film (P); an abutment mechanism (14) for supporting a plurality of films (P) supplied in the form of a continuous web (5) and subsequently cut into portions, the roller (11) of the head (10) and the abutment mechanism (14) being relatively movable between a non-operating condition, in which they are not engaged, and an operating condition in which the roller (11) of the head (10) is arranged at the abutment mechanism (14), against one of the films (P) being supplied in order to apply on the latter a respective handle (M) being supplied. The roller (11) of the head (10) is motorized and is independently controllable with respect to the feeding of the films (P) being supplied.
