The packaging system comprises at least one main transportation unit and at least one moveable closed loop transportation unit, where the at least one moveable closed loop transportation unit moves three-dimensionally with respect to the at least one main transportation unit for providing the packaging material components to the main transportation unit and/or performing packaging process operations to a package in assembly present at the main transportation unit. The at least one moveable closed loop transportation unit includes a number of tools mounted on independently motion-controlled movers for providing the packaging material components to the package in assembly and/or providing the packaging operations to the packaging in assembly. In addition to assembling packages, the systems, methods, and machines may also be used for assembly of any other article.
