Systems, methods, and apparatus for converting a sheet material into packaging templates can include a converting machine that performs conversion functions, such as cutting, creasing, and scoring, on the sheet material. Items to be packed into boxes formed of the packaging templates can be used as the pattern for determining the location of performance of the conversion functions on the sheet material. Accordingly, no intermediate measuring of the items may be required prior to performance of the conversion functions. Instead, longheads can be positioned adjacent to opposing sides of the items and cross heads can be advanced inward to the positioned longheads. |

1. A converting machine for forming a packaging template, comprising:
a receiving area configured to receive one or more to-be-packaged items, the one or more to-be-packaged items having a plurality of outer dimensions including a height, a length, and a width disposed between a first outer side wall and an opposing second outer side wall; a converting assembly comprising first and second longitudinal conversion elements, the converting assembly being aligned with the receiving area such that the first and second longitudinal conversion elements can be selectively positioned respectively adjacent to first and second outer side walls of the one or more to-be-packaged items; and means for advancing a sheet material past the first and second longitudinal conversion elements such that one or more longitudinal conversion functions are performed on the sheet material by the first and second longitudinal conversion elements as the sheet material is advanced past the first and second longitudinal conversion elements. |
