here is provided transport apparatus for carton blanks (11). The blanks are delivered to a pair of rotating nip rollers (17) by using a segment wheel (15) and a swinging suction arm (16). The nip rollers (17) are driven at a predetermined speed so as to deliver the blanks (11) between two pairs of endless belts (18, 19) which are driven at the same speed as each other, the speed of the belts being slower than that of the nip rollers (17). The blanks (11) are, therefore, received by the nip rollers (17) in a pitched manner but the relative speed ensures that the blanks are transported by the endless belts (18, 19) in an unpitched, end to end relationship.
