Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for roll-formed containers for shipping. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining, using a first sensor system, a first dimension of a first item, determining a length of packaging material to use for packing the first item based at least in part on the first dimension, and causing a first crease line and a second crease line to be formed on a surface of the packaging material. Some methods may include causing a first side of the packaging material to be folded over the first item, causing a second side of the packaging material to be folded over the first side of the packaging material to form an overlapping portion, and causing ends of the packaging material to be pressed to form a package, where the first item is disposed in the package.

A method includes folding leading upper flap of a carton blank, folding a trailing upper flap of a carton blank, and passing the leading and trailing upper flaps in a folded condition into a gap between a pair of guide rails. The method includes interlocking the leading upper flap into a leading can in a pack of product, interlocking the trailing upper flap into a trailing can in a pack of product, and wrapping the carton blank around the pack of product to package the pack of product together.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for roll-formed containers for shipping. In one embodiment, an example container for an item may include a rectangular sheet of formable material, the rectangular sheet having a first crease line, a second crease line separated from the second crease line by a distance, a first crease pattern disposed adjacent to the first crease line, and a second crease pattern disposed adjacent to the second crease line. The container may include a sealant disposed about three sides of the rectangular sheet.

A packaging machine including an insertion station for inserting the rolls in wrapping sheets; a feed path of the rolls; a conveyor for feeding the rolls along the feed path; and a folding station adapted to be equipped alternatively with different types of folding members, as a function of the type of pack to produce.

A method of bundling primary packages of absorbent articles into secondary packages includes advancing first and second films in a stretched state in a machine direction. At least two primary packages of absorbent articles are advanced in the machine direction between the first and second films. The primary packages are compressed in a first direction, wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the machine direction. The primary packages are advanced in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite the machine direction. The first and second films are bonded together to form a bonded region. The first and second films compress the primary packages of absorbent articles in the first direction, forming a secondary package around the primary packages of absorbent articles. The bonded region is cut to form a first bond on a first secondary package and a second bond on a second secondary package.
