The tape carry handle is a strip of polypropylene with a coating layer and a non-adhesive part for the hand. The tape carry handle is very versatile and can be applied to various packages handled by consumers. The tape carry handle is generally applied to beverage packaging where there are many different formats. It is applied to packaging with different surfaces, such as: shrink film (e.g. multipacks), PET bottles, gallons, large bottles, cartons, bricks, flexible plastic, and rigid packs.

The carry-handle adhesive tapes market is primarily driven by a rising demand for portable, lightweight and functional packaging solutions across the packaging and logistics sectors. As e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods and multipack beverage markets expand rapidly, there is growing need for packaging materials that support ease of carrying, high tensile strength and strong adhesion from production through to consumer delivery—carry-handle tapes effectively replace plastic handles or manual straps and enhance user convenience and packaging efficiency. In addition, manufacturers are strengthening packaging appearance and brand presence through material innovations (such as film substrates and eco-friendly adhesives) and printed customization (brand logos, promotional messaging), which further stimulates the adoption of these tapes. At the same time, emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, Latin America etc., are seeing fast growth in packaging manufacturing capacity, rising disposable incomes and consumption upgrading, providing structural regional support for the demand. Overall, the trends of packaging convenience, expanding logistics networks, innovation in materials and customization, and industrialization in emerging markets together form the key growth drivers for the carry-handle adhesive tapes market.
