A machine for creating divider structures such as are used as internal partitions within a box employing slotted interlocked partition strips can be constructed utilizing transfer means for individually receiving first strips to extend in one direction in the divider structure, for holding these strips and for conveying them to a location where they are held separate and parallel and where periodically a group of the strips can be removed from the transfer means. In such a machine advancing means are used for periodically receiving such a group of first strips and for advancing the group away from the transfer means while holding them parallel to and spaced from one another in positions in which the slots in the first strips in such a group are in aligned rows. The machine employs inserting means which inserts second strips traverse to the first strips in each of the rows in such a group as such a group is advanced by the advancing means. In the disclosed structure the strips employed are created from continuous lengths of material during machine operation.
