The invention relates to a packaging machine (100) for packaging products (O) in cartons (K), wherein the packaging machine (100) has the following: a product feed (110) for feeding products (O) to be packaged in cartons (K); a carton magazine (120) in which a plurality of preferably glued carton blanks are arranged collapsed at least substantially flat; and a preferably stationary erecting station (130) for erecting carton blanks to form at least substantially block-shaped open cartons (K), wherein the product feed (110) has an at least substantially horizontal first conveying direction, wherein the erecting station (130) is positioned next to the carton magazine (120) in an at least substantially horizontal transverse direction perpendicular to the first conveying direction, and wherein the erecting station (130) is embodied so that it is stationary at least in the horizontal transverse direction.

A bundle builder and lifter assembly has a pair of parallel cross beams, and an actuator assembly for actuating the builder and lifter assembly. A pair of lift arms are moved along the parallel cross beams and each has a vertical portion and a horizontal portion forming a finger. The lift arms are also raised and lowered. A conveyor roller assembly is positioned above the lift arms and cross beams, where stacks of material are moved on the rollers of the conveyor assembly. The stacks of material are placed in a stack by the lift arms forming a bundle, which is then removed from the conveyor roller assembly.

A station for presenting at least one container, which includes a frame, a conveying device having a first conveyor and a mobile platform provided with a second conveyor. Also, a method for presenting containers implemented by this station for presenting at least one container, which includes the steps of depositing a first container at a first point of delivery, controlling the first conveyor to transfer the first container to a point of transfer, actuating the movable platform to transfer the first container from the point of transfer to a point of presentation, and controlling the second conveyor to transfer the first container from the point of presentation to a point of evacuation.
