Abstract

A machine (10) feeds and completes a partially formed carton (C) in a highly efficient and effective manner. In one embodiment, the machine includes an overhead conveyor (12) with selectively actuated depending lugs for engaging and conveying the carton while a first flap on a Hd is folded and sealed. A turning mechanism (100) includes a wheel with an outwardly projecting arm that effects turning of the carton about a vertical axis from a first orientation to a second orientation, such as through 90 °. A takeaway conveyor conveys the reoriented carton while additional flaps on the lid are folded and sealed.
