a second side panel, an inner edge of the second side panel hingedly attached to the top panel at the second side edge; and
a second handle loop secured to the second side panel; and
wherein the first side panel is attached to the top panel by a first tape strip, and wherein the first tape strip defines a living hinge between the top panel and the first side panel.

2. The handle top of claim 1 , wherein the base portion of the first handle loop is laminated to the first side panel by the first tape strip.

7. A handle top comprising:
a top panel defining a first side edge and a second side edge disposed opposite from the first side edge;
a side panel, an inner edge of the side panel hingedly attached to the top panel at the first side edge, the side panel attached to the top panel by a first tape strip, the first tape strip attached to a top side of the top panel, a second tape strip attached to a bottom side of the top panel opposite from the top side, the first tape strip and the second tape strip defining a living hinge between the top panel and the side panel; and
a handle loop comprising a handle portion and a base portion, the base portion secured to the side panel.

8. The handle top of claim 7 , wherein:
