A packaging machine comprises a conveyor (20) for continuously feeding arrays of cans (11) beneath a continuously driven endless conveyor (18) carrying jaw stations at which are relatively movable jaws (54) designed to gradually stretch bands supplied from a reel (22) and telescopically associate each stretched band with a can array by rising elevation of a portion (64) of the conveyor (20) and falling elevation of a portion (50) of the conveyor (18), to create a package (74). The bands are supplied in connected form from the reel (22) and are separated by snatch rollers (26, 27). <IMAGE> |
