Abstract: Device and method for mounting ends of a handle into slits of a package. The device includes guide rails which guide and orient the ends of the handle from a first position to a second position, wherein, in the second position, the ends of the handle are oriented in a direction that is perpendicular to the slits of the package. The method includes moving the handle towards the guide rails, guiding the handle with the guide rails until the handle assumes the second position, and inserting the ends of the handle into the slits of the package. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handle mounted on packaging and the tool used to mount said handle. Said invention comprises (i) continuous strips of flat handles (1) produced in such a way as to leave bridges (12) between said handles so as to be easily cut while being mounted on a package and (ii) adjustable guide rails (59) disposed so as to allow the ends of the handles (1) to be brought closer together and oriented such that the ends are positioned exactly at the base of the slits disposed on the package and intended to house said ends, while bending the body of the handle.
