Abstract: The present invention relates to a package arranging system for arranging a plurality of package sets into a predetermined configuration. The package sets occupy respective ones of a plurality of second positions in the predetermined configuration. A positioning means is provided for positioning, when required, the package sets at respective ones of a plurality of first positions on a first transportation means. The first transportation means transports the package sets from the first positions along a plurality of first paths. A restraining means is provided for restraining the transport of the package sets along the first paths so that the package sets accumulate on the first transportation means at the second positions. The package sets are thereby collectively arranged into the predetermined configuration. A method for arranging the package sets and a simulation method for allowing a user to simulate the arranging of the package sets is also provided.
