The handle structure includes a first end portion formed from the first panel, a grip portion (32,36) extending from the first end portion into an access opening (A1,A2,A3) in the composite wall and a second end portion disposed under the first panel and coupled to the grip portion.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier having a carrying handle formed within a medial partition structure. The carrying handle (H) has an engaging edge that is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to an upper edge of the medial partition structure, and the engaging edge is disposed in an off-centre position within the medial partition structure.

Abstract: A carton (90) has a two part handle structure (H). The two part handle structure includes: a first integrally formed part including two arcuate slots (40, 42) spaced by a gripping portion (50); and a second reinforcing part including a reinforcing member (60) attached to at least the gripping portion of the first integrally formed part of the handle. The reinforcing member is pre-cut such that the profile of the reinforcing member includes at least one curved section that is not aligned with a perimeter of at least one of said two arcuate slots. The reinforcing member is formed from material that is separate from the material from which the first integrally formed part of the handle is formed.
