Abstract (en)
An article carrier (90) includes an outer shell defining an interior of the carrier and a reinforced handle. The reinforced handle includes a first handle panel (18a) and a reinforcing member (31) struck from the first handle panel such that a first handle opening is defined at least in part by the reinforcing member. The first handle panel has an upper edge disposed above the first handle opening. The reinforcing member includes first (34) and second (36) hinged panels. The first hinged panel is hingedly connected to the first handle panel, and the second hinged panel is hingedly connected to the first hinged panel. The reinforcing member folds over the first handle panel's upper edge such that the first hinged panel forms at least part of a first gripping surface and the second hinged panel forms at least part of a second gripping surface.
