Self enclosed disposable carry handle

A method of manufacturing a carry handle comprising the following steps in any order:

• coating a bottom surface of a tear-resistant bonding material with a pressure sensitive adhesive;
• coating a top surface of the bonding material about the periphery such that a central portion of the top surface of the bonding material is not coated;
• adhering a first end of at least one tear-resistant flexible handle and a second end of the tear-resistant flexible handle to the top surface of the bonding material;
• adhering a bottom surface of a protective layer to the top surface of the handle and to the remaining exposed top surface of the bonding material, said protective layer covering the handle and having a hole for allowing the handle to pass through;
• adhering a surface layer to the top surface of the protective layer, said surface layer have a centralized hole for providing access to the handle,
• wherein the flexible handle is accessible by reaching through the hole in the surface layer and the hole in the protective layer such that the handle may be extended.

A carry handle comprised of:

• a layer of tear-resistant bonding material having a bottom side and a top side, said bottom side having a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed thereon;
• at least one tear-resistant flexible handle having a first end affixed to the top side of the bonding material and a second end affixed to the top side of the bonding material such that the center portion of the handle is movable;
• a protective layer affixed to the top side of the bonding material, said protective layer having an opening to allow for access to the handle;
• and
• a tear-resistant surface layer having a centralized hole affixed to the protective layer such that the handle passes through the centralized hole,
• wherein the bonding material is affixed to a package and the flexible handle is accessible by reaching through the hole in the surface layer and the hole in the protective layer such that the handle may be extended.
