A handle structure for a carton is formed within a panel having a opposing side edges and opposing end edges that intersect to form corners of the handle panel, the handle structure. A strap member is integrally conjoined with the handle panel and extends between the end edges. Opposing strap edges are substantially disjoined from the handle panel. The strap member includes a substantially centrally disposed region wherein opposing central strap edge segments of the opposing strap edges are substantially parallel to and mediate the opposing side edges. A severance line segment is disposed proximate each of the corners of the handle panel extending from a first end point proximate an associated one of the corners to a second end point proximate the centrally disposed region of the strap member such that when a force that is substantially normal to a plane in which the handle panels lies is exerted upon the centrally disposed region, the strap member is flexed substantially outwardly of the plane from a biased position proximate the plane.
