Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a package from a package blank which includes a series of lateral surfaces and end wall sections connected by fold lines are disclosed. The method disclosed includes folding the package blank along fold lines between the lateral surfaces, moving such partially formed package blank along a predetermined path, and rotating the package blank while it is moving along that path while at the same time sequentially folding the end wall sections along a second set of fold lines at one end of the package so as to form an end wall surface at that end.
