1. Packaging, comprising:
a lid comprising a handle disposed within a channel of a lid sidewall;
a base box, wherein the lid and base box in a closed configuration enclose a product; and
a suspension mechanism, comprising a strap, and removably fixing the handle and base box together such that lifting the handle lifts the base box, wherein the strap is connected to the base box on one end and connected to the handle on the opposite end,
wherein the handle is vertically movable within the channel of the lid sidewall, such that slack between the connection of the handle and base box is absorbed when the strap is taut thereby allowing the handle to lift the base box with the lid being supported by the base box.
