Why Switch to Paper Handles?
Let's be honest — plastic handles work. They're strong, cheap, and easy to use. But they also make your packaging impossible to recycle without extra steps. And more often than not, they end up in the trash instead of the recycling bin.
We made these paper handles to solve exactly that problem.
They do the same job. Without the plastic.
Our handles are made from twisted kraft paper, with a recommended load of up to 10kg. That's plenty for the everyday stuff — think hairdryers, shampoo bottles, gift boxes, coffee cartons, or a box of nuts. Light to medium weight, no problem.
One thing to note — they're manually applied.
Currently, these handles are designed for hand assembly rather than fully automatic machines. They're easy to install — just feed the ends through pre-punched holes and secure. No special tools or training needed.
So what's a good fit for these handles?
Pretty much anything that isn't too heavy. Here are some examples:
- Small appliances — hairdryers, irons, electric kettles
- Personal care — shampoo, body wash, skincare gift sets
- Food & snacks — boxed coffee, nuts gift boxes, pet treats
- Toys & gifts — Barbie dolls, plush toys, holiday gift boxes
For heavier items like bottled drinks or fresh fruit boxes (over 10kg), these aren't the best choice — we're honest about that. But for everything else, they work great.
Here's what you'll like about them:
- They're strong enough for daily use. 10kg capacity covers most retail and gift packaging needs.
- They're simple to install. Hand assembly takes seconds. No machinery required.
- They're pure paper. Just paper, no hidden plastic film.
- They make your packaging easy to recycle. Customers can toss the whole box — handle included — into paper recycling. No need to peel anything off.
A small change that actually matters
Plastic handles are a tiny part of your packaging. But eliminating them sends a clear message: you care about the details. And your customers will notice.
