The bucket structures include forward and rearward ends whereby the bucket structures may be translated such that the forward end may be disposed adjacent an aligned open carton, and the rearward end may receive loading assembly. Such rearward end is provided with a funnel structure which cooperates with a self-aligning pusher foot comprising part of the loading assembly to effectuate alignment and mating receipt of the pusher foot with a cavity defined by the bucket structure. The platen is preferably provided with indexing ears which are matingly received with corresponding indexing notches provided on the bucket structure for precisely positioning and holding of the platen in its proper position and orientation so that the media is maintained below a top surface of the carton.
