Abstract
An item packaging machine includes an induction conveyor module, a height sizing conveyor module, a first sealing assembly, a package draw conveyor module, a width trim conveyor module, and a second sealing assembly. A gripper assembly comprising a gripping device is configured to engage an unsealed side of the package and move downward to pull a package laterally across a conveyor run of the width trim conveyor module from a first side thereof to a second side thereof. The package is pulled to a position that corresponds to a width of the order. The second sealing module is positioned between the conveyor run and the gripper assembly and is configured to cut and to seal the unsealed side of the package after the package has been pulled to the position that corresponds to the width of the order.
