Abstract
Apparatus for cartoning liquid-filled pouches. A horizontal intermittent motion cartoner conveys cartons in a vertical orientation. At a first station, a hole is formed in a lower major flap. At a second station, glue is applied in a circular pattern around the hole. The flaps are then closed with the glue exposed to the inside bottom of the carton. A liquid-filled pouch is deposited by gravity into the carton. The upper portion of the pouch is tamped within the carton and the upper flaps closed and sealed.
