Provided here is a novel construction for making and attaching wire handles to folded boxes from straight pieces of wire for both automatic pail box machines and vending cabinets. The mechanisms for making and attaching handles include: a container for containing wire blanks and feeding them only one piece per cycle, a bed die mechanism and reciprocated shuttle. The lead wire blank, which is fed from the container is placed on the receiver portion of the shuttle. At the same time from the bed die mechanism, a handle is pushed which has been made in the previous cycle. This handle is placed on the shipping portion of the shuttle. In its motion the shuttle attaches the made handle to the folded box and in cooperation with the bed die mechanism bends the lead wire blank to form a new handle. Thus, the process of each cycle includes fastening the made handle to the folded box and bending a new handle for fastening it in the next cycle. Permanent magnets are provided for holding the wire blank and the made handle in a suitable position during the making and the attaching of the handle.
