The pre-forming assembly is configured to partially form the lid and the tray by folding each of a plurality of side panels of the blank and further form the tray by partially folding a front panel assembly of the blank, the front panel assembly including a front panel and a roll-over panel. The mandrel assembly is mounted to the frame and configured to engage a bottom panel of the tray to form each of a plurality of corners of the tray and fold the roll-over panel to form a front wall of the container.

A method and a system for erecting boxes from box templates of different sizes, said method comprising the steps of: adjusting a size of a frame (5; 105) according to a size of a box template (3; 103) which should be erected; wrapping the box template (3; 103) to be erected around the frame (5; 105); and separating the frame (5; 105) from the box template.

A box erecting device for folding a box is disclosed herein. The box erecting device includes a folding plate and a lid erecting system. The folding plate is configured for erecting a box, and a folding notch including a first edge and a second edge is formed in the folding plate. The first edge is configured for erecting a first dust flap of the box, and the second edge is configured for erecting a second dust flap of the box. The lid erecting system is disposed adjacent to the folding plate and is configured for erecting a lid of the box. The lid erecting system includes a tab funnel and a folding tool. The tab funnel includes a ramp for retaining the dust flaps while closing the lid. The folding tool includes a hooked ramp for causing a distal end of the lid to be inserted into the box.

A paperboard packaging container for bulk solids and a method of forming a paperboard packaging container for bulk solids. The container having a container body closed at one end by a lid formed by sequential insertion and attachment of a first paperboard insert and a second paperboard insert.

A method for producing packagings (12a; 12b), in particular cartons, in which in at least one method step packaging parts (32a; 32b), in particular carton parts, are conveyed by a transport device (14a; 14b) having a planar drive. The packaging parts (32a; 32b) are in each case moved via at least one platform (30a; 30b) of the transport device (14a; 14b) which is movable by the planar drive, and are processed during a movement that is induced by the platform (30a; 30b). At least one processing step for producing a packaging (12a; 12b) from a packaging part (32a; 32b) is realized at least partly by a force generated by the at least one movable platform (30a; 30b).

A carton. The carton may include a floor panel; a plurality of side panels extending about a periphery of the floor panel, a front tab formed at an upper edge of a front side panel, upper side flaps extending from upper edges of a first end side panel and a second end side panel, and wherein each flap includes a side receiving slot; foldable corner gussets extending between adjacent side panels, wherein the floor panel, side panels, and foldable corner gussets are configurable to form a compartment region; a hingeable lid, including: a lid panel, a front edge flap, a side tab formed on each opposing side edge of the lid panel, and a front receiving slot formed in the front edge flap, wherein the lid panel is configured to cover the compartment region when in a closed position; and wherein the front tab of the front side panel is configured such that when the hingeable lid is in the closed position, the front tab aligns with the front receiving slot and is receivable therein and each side tab aligns with its respective side receiving slot and are receivable therein.

The pre-forming assembly is configured to partially form the lid and the tray by folding each of a plurality of side panels of the blank and further form the tray by partially folding a front panel assembly of the blank, the front panel assembly including a front panel and a roll-over panel. The mandrel assembly is mounted to the frame and configured to engage a bottom panel of the tray to form each of a plurality of corners of the tray and fold the roll-over panel to form a front wall of the container.

Procedures and devices to transform three dimensional flexible sealed containers of at least two faces or sides and which in their interior contain at least one fluid and, optionally or complementarily, solid or solids, granulates or powders, by folding at least once over itself, towards at least one direction: at least part of at least one flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37) over at least part of another part of the same flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37), alongside with also previously and/or posteriously there will be a seal of at least one part by at least one face or side of the flap/triangular body (36) or strip (37) generated and/or being this one folded at least once over itself.

This system supposes improvements regarding the inalterability of the container, economic and ecological considerations by not having to cut the flaps or triangular shapes, keeping it intact, without fissures or tearings in the initial container body, transformed in 3D.

At the same time, the following advantages are important:

by guaranteeing the conservation and useful life of the container without porousness or leaks, from the moment of the 3D transformation until its later opening and consumption of the product contained within.

by not requiring any sort of adhesive or contact glue to attach or fold the flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37).

by impeding that the Production Facility generates any defective container transformed in 3D.

by having the invention containers be more stable because the support face or side is wider and more consistent, having at least part of the flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37) as a support surface in the base.
