Abstract
A package having a handle for housing granular or similar products. The handle is a substantially flat strap handle which has a barb member on each end. The handle is inserted into two opposing openings in the side wall of the package. A section of the side wall adjacent each of the apertures includes a liner which separates the granular contents of the package from the area immediately surrounding the aperture. The liner is adapted to prevent the flow of granular contents out through the aperture. The package can be formed from a sleeve which, even with the handle inserted, is substantially flat. Also, with the package assembled the handle rests against the side wall of the package allowing shipping virtually as if the package did not have a handle.
