The track may be recessed within an opening in the package wall. The handle assembly comprises a flexible handle and moveable guide members captured within the track and biased away from each other by the resiliently flexible handle. The handle assembly is moveable between a first position in which the handle is flat and a second position in which the handle is arc shaped.
