A machine to work a box-like element or similar includes a cutting unit to cut a strip-like element on a corresponding lying plane in a first substantially plane configuration; a loading unit with a thrust blade translatable in a first direction; a folding and insertion unit having a housing seating of the strip-like element that is directed substantially orthogonally to said lying plane, so that after translation of the thrust blade in said first direction the strip-like element is introduced into said housing seating, assumes a “U” shape and has flaps and a connection part; said folding and insertion unit being translatable in a second direction to at least partly insert said flaps in a slit in the box-like element; and an attachment unit of part of said flaps inside said box-like element on which the slit is made, so that the connection part protrudes from the box-like element.

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 system and method of at least partially forming reinforced packages. The method comprises moving a construct in a machine direction on a construct conveyor. The construct conveyor can comprise a primary lug belt with a primary lug, the construct can be disposed on the primary lug belt, and the moving the construct can comprise moving the primary lug belt in the machine direction to push the construct in the machine direction. The method further can comprise positioning a liner on the construct conveyor so that the liner at least partially extends over the construct and moving the liner in the machine direction on a secondary lug belt of the construct conveyor. The secondary lug belt can comprise a secondary lug and the moving the liner can comprise moving the secondary lug belt in the machine direction to push the liner in the machine direction.
