A composite package comprising a plurality of primary packages, the plurality of primary packages being gathered into at least one secondary package comprising an envelope surrounding at least some of the plurality of primary packages, the composite package comprising a handle for manipulating the at least one secondary package, the handle comprises a grip portion, two anchor portions, and two stem regions connecting the grip portion to the two anchor portions, the handle being between a retracted first position wherein the two stem regions of the handle are located between two or more of the plurality of primary packages, and an extracted second position wherein the two stem regions of the handle project at least partially from the at least one secondary package.
A composite package comprising a plurality of primary packages, the plurality of primary packages being gathered into a single secondary package comprising an envelope surrounding at least some of the plurality of primary packages, the composite package comprising a handle for manipulating the single secondary package, the handle is mobile between a retracted first position wherein two stem regions of the handle are located between two or more of the plurality of primary packages, and an extracted second position wherein the two stem regions of the handle project at least partially from the single secondary package;
- wherein the handle comprises:
- a grip portion;
- two flexible portions each extending from an extremity of the grip portion;
- two anchor portions each extending from an extremity of a flexible portion opposite the grip portion and embedded within the composite package;
- and
- the two stem regions connecting the grip portion to the two anchor portions;
- such that when the handle is in the retracted first position, the two flexible portions are folded to form a recess within the single secondary package in which the grip portion is substantially enclosed between the two anchor portions, and when the handle is in the extracted second position, the grip portion is outside of the recess and the two anchor portions.
