A smart, sustainable solution for shrink-wrapped products
Our integrated carry handle packaging is an innovative solution designed to improve functionality, sustainability, and cost efficiency in shrink-wrapped products.
The handle is made of single-material MDO polyethylene and is directly integrated into the shrink film during extrusion or printing, eliminating the need for external applicators or additional components.
Why integrated handles are the future of packaging
Traditional packaging solutions often rely on multi-material components and separate handle applicators, increasing complexity, costs, and environmental impact.
This integrated solution addresses current industry challenges by offering:
- Lower environmental impact thanks to mono-material design
- Simplified recycling compared to mixed-material packaging
- Improved usability for end consumers
- Higher production efficiency without additional machinery
Key benefits
No Applicator Required
- No need for expensive automatic handle applicators
- Reduced maintenance and downtime
- Simplified production lines
Increased Efficiency
- Production line speed can increase by up to 25%
- No constant operator intervention required
- Streamlined supply chain and inventory management
Significant Cost Savings
- No separate handle purchasing
- No additional logistics or storage costs
- Savings of tens of thousands of euros over time
Product features
Improved Ergonomics
The handle is designed for a comfortable grip and optimal weight distribution, reducing strain on the user’s hand during transport.
Perfect Integration
The handle is formed directly from the shrink film, eliminating the need for separate components and additional assembly steps.
Material Efficiency
Using a single material:
- Simplifies recycling processes
- Reduces overall plastic usage
- Improves sustainability performance
How it works
The integration process fits seamlessly into existing production flows:
- Shrink film extrusion
- Optional printing on the film
- Integrated handle formation
- Shrink wrapping of the product
✔ Existing shrink-wrapping machines require no modifications
✔ Precise temperature and pressure control are not critical
✔ No additional investments are required
Sustainability advantages
- Fully recyclable mono-material packaging
- Reduced plastic waste
- Lower carbon footprint compared to traditional solutions
This solution supports the growing demand for eco-compatible packaging without compromising performance.
Future developments
- Industrial partnerships to accelerate adoption and standardization
- Extended applications across different product categories and packaging formats
- Material innovation, including research into bio-based and compostable alternatives to polyethylene
