The object of the disclosure is a method and an apparatus for mechanically forming a product package box. According to the disclosure, a product package box is formed with a box-forming apparatus from a tubular sleeve folded flat, which sleeve is mechanically opened into the correct shape of the product package box and to which is affixed an essentially integral base panel. On the basis of online data coming from a picking system, for each product package box, a sleeve is selected from a sleeve bundle, the height of which sleeve corresponds most suitably to the online data, or a sleeve of suitable height is cut from a sleeve blank.

The invention discloses a packaging bag and an apparatus and a method for manufacturing film material of the packaging bag, and a method of manufacturing the packaging bag. The processing of the portable portion is conducted by the apparatus for manufacturing film material, and the prepared film material is made into a packaging bag finally. In the technical solution of the invention, by adding a handle structure on the side portion of the big-sized packaging bag, the bag structure of the invention is easy to carry or move the packaging bag and the product within the packaging bag that is large in weight, structure, and size. The packaging bag of the present invention has a simple structure, which is convenient to use and process, improving the practicality and usability of the bag.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag applicator including a spool system for holding and guiding a tape including a plurality of RFID tags from a first spool to a second spool, an RFID programmer coupled to spool system to send a programming signal to each of the tags passing from the first spool to the second spool, an RFID reader coupled to the spool system for reading a return signal from a programmed RFID tag in order to reject or accept the programmed tag, and an applicator member operatively coupled to the RFID reader to cause an RFID tag to peel away from the tape onto a passing substrate if the RFID tag is accepted by the RFID reader or pass to the second spool if rejected.
