The tearable tape system is secured to the packaging material and includes at least a first section (30) and a second section (32) . The tearable tape system can assume a number of forms. Regardless, the first section (30) is tearable relative to the second (section32 ) . With this configuration, the tearable tape system is configured to be tearable from an initial, unopened state and an opened state. In the initial, unopened state, an area of the packaging material otherwise contacting the tearable tape system is intact. Conversely, in the opened state, the tearable tape system tears an opening (122) through the packaging material, with the second section (32) remaining secured to the packaging material. The second section, in combination with the packaging material, provides a handle for carrying the packaged good article in the opened state. In this regard, the handle is configured to have sufficient tensile strength to support a weight of the article (12). Thus, the tearable tape system renders the packaging material easy to open, and provides a convenient handle following opening.
