Handle/Hanger Applicators are machines designed to affix consumer-friendly features such as handles for carrying or hangers for display onto packaged products. These systems enhance the functionality and presentation of products by adding plastic or cardboard carry handles to multi-packs—like two-gallon joined water jugs—or applying hang tabs that allow individual packages to be suspended from retail peg displays. By automating the application of these components, this equipment supports high-speed production environments and helps improve shelf impact, convenience, and consumer interaction.

These machines are capable of accommodating various handle types (clip-on, adhesive, wrap-around) and hanger systems (adhesive tabs, punch-in hooks), and are often integrated into final packaging stages for both retail and industrial products.

Typical products and applications include:

• Multi-pack water jugs or large beverage containers: Equipped with molded plastic handles for easier transport
• Household cleaners in rigid bottles: Fitted with handles for improved grip and portability
• Snack pouches or novelty packs: Enhanced with hang tabs for pegboard retail display
• Health and beauty products: Outfitted with adhesive hangers for placement in retail hook displays
• Consumer electronics or batteries: Given hanger tabs for organized merchandising presentation

Additional Considerations:

• Improves product ergonomics and shopper convenience
• Boosts visual merchandising with retail-ready hang display options
• Can be adapted to various materials and package sizes
• Increases packaging line efficiency by automating accessory application
• Supports branding and promotional strategies through custom handle designs
