Carry Handle Tapes: A tiny innovation with massive packaging, marketing, sales and environmental impact

Every time you go shopping and pick up a package of mineral water, or soft drinks, or even toilet paper, you handle carry handle tapes, composed from a polypropylene sheet, coated by an extra-durable glue specifically adapted to the packaging and its contents. Instead of shoving products into plastic bags and cardboard boxes, carry handle tapes enable you to conveniently carry shrink wrapped products back to your car and/or home. Not only do carry handle tapes minimize the packaging material and plastic usage required to handle products, they also:

Reduce volume occupancy of packaged products in stores and warehouses
Reduce damages to products and hence wastage, customer complaints and product return.
Offer a versatile platform for promotional content
Encourage selection of your easy to pick up products by shoppers, granting you a competitive advantage over cardboard box bound products.
Nurtures customer loyalty with larger quantity purchases through multipacks.
Have a lower cost than traditional packaging methods
Offer flexibility in the format of the handle insert, utilization of either paper, PE, PP foam, foam, soft fabric or other material, which can be chosen be the customer.

Responsible global citizenship

Plastics permeate the modern world. Our cars, our medical instruments, our computers, and practically any household appliance we use contain plastics. Plastics have improved our lives immensely. Only one problem. Well, actually two problems. The first is that plastics, being produced from oil, are at the end of the day an exhaustible resource. The second is that plastics are not biodegradable, and their ubiquitous use and often sloppy disposal is polluting groundwater, forming massive plastic islands in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic, and generally endangering the environment. We can’t stop using plastics – our industry and way of life are too dependent on them. But we can minimize their nonessential use, especially in packaging. Davik is proud of our role in minimizing the use of plastics in our everyday lives – it may be a small step towards a cleaner, healthier future, but as Confucius said, even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
