Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017004163A1] A system for forming a foldable package is provided. The system includes a first conveyor device includes at least one lug that defines a first slot and a second slot on opposing sides of the lug. The first slot is sized to receive a first set of individually wrapped articles and the second slot is sized to receive a second set of individually wrapped articles. The first conveyor device is configured to advance the individually wrapped articles towards a loading station. The system further includes a feeder device configured to position a sheet of packaging material over the individually wrapped articles at the loading station. The sheet of packaging material is for coupling to the individually wrapped articles. Moreover, the lug has a width such that a predefined distance is defined between the first and second sets of individually wrapped articles when coupled to the sheet of packaging material.
