This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for automatically forming an open-top parallelepipedic carton (2) from a corresponding box-like open-ended blank (2'), each blank open end being provided with respective end closure flaps, characterized in that it comprises the successive steps of: providing an end closing pad (60) having an abutment plate or wall (61) of corresponding cross dimensions to those of the ends of the blank (2'); fitting said box-like blank over the pad (60), with the plate (61) of the latter positioned at one of the open ends; folding the closure flaps provided at the open end down onto the plate (61) and bonding them together to produce an open-top carton; removing the open-top carton thus obtained from the pad. <IMAGE> |
