Package handlePackage handles, or carriers, are used to help people use packaging. They are designed to simplify and to improve the ergonomics of lifting and carrying packages.

A handle can be defined as "an accessory attached to a container or part for the purpose of holding or carrying."

The taste of garum is thought to have been comparable to that of today's Asian fish sauces.Testaccio
