<p>There is provided apparatus (10) for attaching a serrated cutting strip to a carton blank comprising a first means for (24) conveying carton blanks past a second means (16), the second means (16) being arranged to cut a cutting strip from a supply (38) of cutting strip material and deposit said cutting strip upon a carton blank. The first means comprises a conveyor belt (24) preferably fitted with suction means, and the second means (16) comprises upper (58) and lower dies movable relative to one another and means (14) to feed a supply of cutting strip material between said dies. In use initial downward movement of the upper die (58) cuts a cutting strip from the supply of cutting strip material, said cutting strip being retained upon the upper die (58) by suction. Further downward movement of the upper die (58) brings the cutting strip into contact with a carton blank. The apparatus (10) includes alignment means (26, 34) to ensure the carton blanks are correctly positioned relative to the second means (16) when the cutting strips are attached.</p> |
