Abstract: A system for applying a stamp to packs within a carton includes a conveyor system including a plurality of spring arms and a ceiling plate positioned above the spring arms. The system also includes a carton opening system positioned at a first station along the conveyer system, a pack stamping system positioned at a second station along the conveyer system, and a carton closing system positioned at a third station along the conveyor system; wherein the spring arms bias the cartons against the ceiling plate to position the packs at a predetermined distance form the carton opening system, pack stamping system and carton closing system. A method for applying a stamp to packs within a carton includes biasing the carton along a conveyor system, and positioning the packs within the carton at a predetermined location from operation stations based on the biasing.

Abstract: A system for applying a stamp to packs includes a carton opening system, a pack stamping system, and a carton sealing system, including at least one strip dispenser to selectively unwind at least one roll of tacky polymer strips, a strip separator to remove the tacky polymer strips from a backing roll and place the removed tacky polymer strips on the carton, and a flap closer. A method of applying at least one stamp to at least one pack within a carton includes opening at least one carton, stamping at least one stamp onto at least one pack within the carton, and applying at least one tacky polymer strip to a lower flap of the carton. The method further includes folding an upper flap of the carton to adhere to the applied tacky polymer strip.
