<p>A packaging assembly (1) having an enclosure (3) to receive carton blanks (4). A first arm (5) has means (6) to grip a carton blank. The first arm being operable to move the blank from a pick up position at the enclosure to a delivery position. Means (6) forms the blank into a carton (10) adjacent the delivery position. The carton has a base and side walls extending upwardly from the base to an open end spaced from the base. Means (20) moves the carton in a loading direction (A). Means (20) moves a plurality of product (26) to be packaged in the loading direction. A second arm (30) has means (32) to grip the product from the product moving means and deliver the product through the open end into the carton. The loading direction has a first component (a) at an angle to a perpendicular axis to a surface upon which the assembly rests and a second component (β) at an angle to a normal axis to the surface upon which the assembly rests, so that in use the carton is loaded from a lower most edge corner to an opposite diagonal higher most corner with respect to the perpendicular and normal axes.</p> |
