The portion of the lid sheet along its second adjustment side is cut off in a strip shape by a second cutter.

A method for laser processing a packaging box is provided, which includes feeding a paper material printed with a pattern on the front side thereof to a cutting machine by back feeding using an automatic paper feeder; performing edge finding on the rear side of the paper material, and forming indentations on the rear side of the paper material corresponding to where the pattern is on the front side; conveying the paper material to a laser cutting machine to perform registration marking on the rear side of the paper material before laser cutting; and finally performing laser cutting based on the registration markings to obtain a packaging box with the pattern printed on the front side and the indentations formed on the rear side.

A packaging container (102) for storing products, the packaging container (102) comprises: a packaging container blank (102a) in open form for feeding in a container feeding holder (104), wherein the packaging container blank (102a) is a printed packaging container blank that includes a window cut out (126), fold lines (128a-128d), flaps (130a-130n), tabs (132a-132m), panels (134a-134d) or a combination thereof; a strapped leaflet unit (118) placed in a magazine of a folder and gluer unit (106), wherein the strapped leaflet unit (118) have a leaflet (114) and a dosage card (116) strapped in a strapping material; and adhesive drops dropped from the adhesive applicators (110a-110n) applied on one of on one of the panels (134a-134d) with the window cut (126) during the travel of the container blank (102a) over the conveyor (108).

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 according to a size of a box template which should be erected; wrapping the box template to be erected around the frame; and separating the frame from the box template.

The invention relates to a line for manufacturing packagings (2) producing folding boxes (CA1, CA2) from plate elements (4), which comprises a feeding station (20), a shaping unit (33) which consecutively shapes the plate elements (4) by slitting, scoring and cutting operations, provided with pairs of shafts (230.sub.a-233.sub.a, 230.sub.b-233.sub.b) and a cutting unit (24), which engage to produce, in the shaped plate element (3), two juxtaposed folding box layers (P1, P2), arranged transversely to the direction of transport (FD), which are associated in series, and connected to one another by attachment points (45), a folding/gluing unit (26) which forms folded assemblies (5) by folding and gluing the shaped plate elements (4), a counting/ejection unit (27) which forms stacks of folded assemblies (6, 7), and a unit (29) for separating folding boxes comprising means arranged to produce, by breaking the attachment points (45), two separate batches (8.sub.1, 8.sub.2) of stacked folding boxes from each stack of folded assemblies (6, 7).

A packaging system for high flexibility and speed box-last packaging comprises one or more dimensional scanning sensors that are configured to scan a group of one or more target products that are to be boxed and gather dimension information describing physical dimensions of the group of one or more target products. The system also comprises one or more packaging-production machines that are configured to generate custom-made packaging templates that conform to a pre-determined set of packaging template types. Additionally, the system comprises a packaging template buffer that comprises physically divided sections that contain multiple packaging templates selected from the pre-determined set of packaging template types that are generated by the one or more packaging-production machines. Each of the packaging templates are organized within the physically divided section based upon packaging template type.

A device for processing workpiece sheets for packaging, includes a processing station through which the workpiece sheets are transported in succession, at least one changeable tool (2, 10, 18) that is specific to the processing and is moved against the sheet introduced in the processing station to process the sheet, at least one holder (11) on the device side for the changeable tool (2, 10, 18), the holder being adjustable for aligning the changeable tool (2, 10, 18), a central electronic control unit (37) for controlling the device, the control unit (37) having a memory for storing specific setting position data for each individual specific changeable tool (2, 10, 18), electronic digital sensors (36) for determining the current position of the holder (11), which sensors are coupled to the control unit (37), and digital display devices (38) that are coupled to the control unit (37) and display the target position and the actual position of the holder (11) or of parts coupled thereto, or display the relation of the target position and the actual position for the individual specific changeable tool (2, 10, 18).

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 according to a size of a box template which should be erected; wrapping the box template to be erected around the frame; and separating the frame from the box template.

A method to form cardboard boxes by gluing into a box-forming machine from sheets, said machine, a computer program with instructions for said machine to execute said method, and a computer-readable device that has stored said computer program. In this method, a stage of the movement of inserting a pintle into a mold starts with a controlling element when the position of a drag element of sheet to a delivery position, where you place a sheet aligned between said pintle and mold, it corresponds to a second intermediate position between a source position and said delivery position; and a stage of activation of a supplying actuator starts with a controlling element to supply a sheet subsequent to the source position, when the position of said drag element corresponds to a third intermediate position between said source position and said second position.
