A machine feeds and completes a partially formed carton in a highly efficient and effective manner. In one embodiment, the machine includes an overhead conveyor with selectively actuated, depending lugs for engaging and conveying the carton while a first flap on a lid is folded and sealed. A turning mechanism includes a wheel with an outwardly projecting arm that effects turning of the carton about a vertical axis from a first orientation to a second orientation, such as through 90°. A takeaway conveyor conveys the reoriented carton while additional flaps on the lid are folded and sealed. |
