A foldable container and method of using the same that includes one or more strips of adhesive material with one end fixed to the container's exterior surface and the other end inserted through slits in the flaps of the container such that the free ends of the strips of adhesive material are held in place on the container. A foldable container and method of using the same that features a release liner attached to the side of the foldable container such that strips of adhesive material can be peeled off of a surface of the container and applied to and used to seal the top and bottom surfaces of the container.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a random case sealer configurable into a bypass configuration in which a tape cartridge is out of the path of a case so the tape cartridge does not apply tape to the case as the case moves past the tape cartridge.

A cardboard box erector that folds four flaps provided on edges of an opening of a cardboard box so as to surround the opening is disclosed. The four flaps include a locking flap folded last among the four flaps. The cardboard box erector includes a folding unit configured to fold each of the four flaps in a predetermined order to close the opening, and a pushing unit configured to perform an action to push the locking flap inside the cardboard box and pull the locking flap back. The pushing unit has a suction unit configured to such and hold the locking flap.

Methods, articles, and apparatus that provide a dual function closure/opening system that utilizes a tape serving as both a sealing closure and as an opening mechanism. For example, in one embodiment, a single adhesive tape is introduced between a container flap and a container panel and then the container flap and the container panel are pressed together forming a bond between the flap and the panel via the adhesive tape thereby closing the container. In another embodiment, one end of a container includes two overlapping flaps and a single adhesive tape is introduced between the overlap of the two container flaps and then the container flaps are pressed together forming a bond between the flaps via the adhesive tape thereby closing the container. The methods and apparatus disclosed herein are directed to any container with at least one flap that overlaps a side panel of the container or that overlaps another flap.

System for transporting items to a packaging station comprising at least a first, a second and a third conveyor, said first conveyor configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items in a first transport direction to the third conveyor, said second conveyor configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items in a second transport direction to the third conveyor, said third conveyor configured for transporting said arrangements from the first and the second conveyor in a third transport direction, a fourth and a fifth transport direction towards a packaging station.

The invention discloses a tape sealing machine suitable for various sizes of express boxes, including a sealing machine. The left side of the sealing machine is provided with a left telescopic cavity with an opening downward and leftward, and the left telescopic cavity can slide left and right. There is a left telescopic plate on the right side of the sealing machine, and a right telescopic cavity with an opening downward and to the right is provided on the right side of the sealing machine. A right telescopic plate is slidable in the right telescopic cavity. The right and left telescopic plates are provided with a pressing roller device. The present invention presses the sealing machine on the upper side of the express box to flatten the two cardboards at the opening of the express box, and then press the tape on the cardboard. The sealing between the seams is continued. Pressing down the sealing machine can drive the pressure rollers away from each other to the sides of the delivery box, and then flatten the tape on the delivery box. The sealing machine has good flexibility, and the pressure roller can The fixed range is large, and it can be applied to a variety of sizes of courier boxes.

A system for automatic packaging of shoes can include a first subsystem that can determine shoe type information from a shoe or pair of shoes to be packaged, a second subsystem that can automatically package the shoe, or pair of shoes, in a packaging container, and a third subsystem that can dynamically control the automatic packaging based at least in part on the determined shoe type information.

A device, system, and method for loading empty and formed six-pack bottle carriers into a larger case (i.e. a multi-pack) is provided. The packaging device includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The six-pack carriers are formed by unfolding them in the upper portion. Various components are associated with the upper portion of the packaging device. The case receives a plurality of six-pack carriers therein. The larger cases is formed by unfolding them in the lower portion of the packaging device. Various components are associated with the lower portion of the packaging device. The upper portion and lower portion operate simultaneously to efficiently produce a case have empty six-pack carriers placed therein for later filling with bottles at a downstream destination. The system includes the machine, the cases, the six-pack carriers, and the bottles, operating collectively.
