The system comprises at least one conveyor for carrying the bundles with equipment for checking bundle integrity and verifying correct addresses. Equipment can be included to remove unacceptable bundles and to divert each bundle to the predetermined conveyor and align the bundles properly. The bundles are rotated and held in position until a uniformed, and/or predetermined dimension log is achieved and then moved into position for strapping the log, identifying it and attaching the label. Conveyors are used to place each log in position to be palletized in conjunction with other logs. The logs can be rotated to create cross stacking of the logs and equipment can be used to raise or lower each layer of the logs. When the complete pallet is created an address and information label is prepared and attached. The method comprises the control of a number of pieces of equipment by means of a programmable system control designed to maintain the sequential integrity of the output, that is the preparation of bundles of variable height into logs of uniform width, height and predetermined length into palletized loads onto which the sequentially produced logs produce a pallet on which the sequence of the logs is maintained. Pallet content, configuration and sequence is captured as printed and electronic records are prepared for internal and external use and reprocessing.
