ABSTRACT:
A packaging machine (10) for wrapping together a plurality of uniform containers (c) which machine includes an infeed section (12) having conveying means (18) for continuously feeding a series of wrapper blanks in substantially flat condition longitudinally towards an outfeed section of the machine and conveying means (22,24) for continuously feeding a linear series of containers to be wrapped in longitudinal alignment with said series of wrappers so that each container is moved into a position directly above a wrapper blank, a loading section (20) in which each container is caused to be located in an aperture (`a`) provided in a base panel of the wrapper while the container and wrapper are conveyed in synchronism, a forming section in which wrapping of further panels or each blank with respect to the containers is affected to complete the package and an outfeed section from which the completed packages leave the machine, characterized in that loading is achieved by causing the containers to enter the loading section at one level and the wrappers to enter the loading section at a relatively lower level and progressively raising each wrapper from the lower level to said one level when said containers are positioned above the wrapper so as to cause containers to locate in said apertures of the wrapper.
