Hand carrier

A combination adapted to carry products by hand in a sling-like carrier comprising

• a substantially rectangular handle having an upper region and a lower region, a top layer and a bottom layer that are mirror images of each other, each layer having a straight lower edge, and
• a substantially rectangular front panel and a substantially rectangular rear panel that are mirror images of each other, each panel having a straight upper edge and a straight lower edge, the upper edges being shorter than both lower edges of the handle layers, and
• wherein
• the top layer and the bottom layer of the handle are adhesively bonded or mechanically connected to each other in the lower region of the handle, said adhesive bond or mechanical connection extending along and laterally beyond where the top layer and bottom layer contact the front and rear panels along the straight lower edges, extending beyond where they contact the front and rear panels,
• a handhold is centered in and cut into the upper region of the handle,
• the shorter upper edge of the front panel is centered under and connected to the lower edge of the top layer of the handle,
• the shorter upper edge of the rear panel is centered under and connected to the lower edge of the bottom layer of the handle,
• the upper edges of the front and rear panels are in direct contact with the bonding adhesive or mechanism that connects the handle layers,
• and the lower edges of the front and rear panels are connected to each other to complete the sling-like configuration of the carrier when the front and rear panels are spread apart.
