Start 2026 Strong: Packaging Solutions Designed for Real Consumer Needs

January 23, 2026

The packaging industry is changing quickly, and 2026 will be an important year for companies that want better performance, lower costs, and more sustainable solutions. One key element in this evolution is the carry handle. Today, the carry handle is not just an accessory. It is a strategic part of modern packaging that improves efficiency, sustainability, and consumer comfort.

Alimac is a global leader in carry handle solutions and continues to invest in innovation to support brands around the world.

Production efficiency is essential for companies in 2026.

  • smooth application on high-speed packaging lines,
  • strong and consistent adhesion,

  • fewer line stops and reduced downtime,
  • stable performance during transport and distribution.

These features make Alimac carry handles a smart choice for companies that want efficient packaging and better line productivity.

Sustainable Carry Handles for Modern Packaging Needs

Sustainability is now a priority for brands, retailers, and consumers.
