ABSTRACT:
A strap includes an elongate sheet of material with two end portions and a central portion. Each of the end portions is provided with a pair of lateral hooks dimensioned and configured to receive the plastic handles of a shopping bag or the like. The strap may be made from corrugated hollow core material, in which case it may be die cut, or it may be solid plastic injection molded. The strap may be uniform thickness or may be selectively reduced in thickness to save material and weight in those regions where the extra material is not essential to the integrity of the strap. Advantageously, the central portion is provided with one flat surface suitable for use on the shoulder and one contoured surface to conform to the shape of the hand and fingers to maximize comfort when the strap is carried by hand. Indicia, in the form of a brand name, or advertising may be either molded into the solid plastic strap or may be directly imprinted on the strap or on a separate media which can be attached to the central portion.
