Abstract
Apparatus for opening a folded rectangular corrugated carton, of a type having score lines between panels thereof, is characterized by a pair of V-shaped channels for receiving the folded carton therebetween, such that score lines along opposite side edges of the carton are positioned within the channels. A motor drives the channels together, so that as pressure is applied to the carton the panels are folded about the panel scores to open the carton.
