Abstract: A package handle carrier which provides a means for carrying packages, containers or equivalent with one hand. The package handle includes a pivoted top-nested carrying handle mounted on the top of a relatively flat compact box. The box contains two spring tensioned retractable tape reels rotatably mounted in the box in side by side relationship with their axes parallel. Each tape free end has a T-bar rod secured thereto which is insertable into an anchor clasp socket in the associated opposite wall of the box to hook the free end of the tape thereto. Each reel has an upwardly protruding fluted rewind knob for manually drawing up the tape, and a spring biased reel ratchet lock to engage the knob flutes to positively one-way lock the tape in taut condition about the package to be carried.
