Abstract: A method of bundling primary packages of absorbent articles into secondary packages includes advancing first and second films in a stretched state in a machine direction. At least two primary packages of absorbent articles are advanced in the machine direction between the first and second films. The primary packages are compressed in a first direction, wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the machine direction. The primary packages are advanced in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite the machine direction. The first and second films are bonded together to form a bonded region. The first and second films compress the primary packages of absorbent articles in the first direction, forming a secondary package around the primary packages of absorbent articles. The bonded region is cut to form a first bond on a first secondary package and a second bond on a second secondary package.

Abstract: A taping apparatus includes a support arm movable in a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is opposite the second direction. The taping member is movably connected with the support arm. The taping member is movable in a third direction and a fourth direction. The third direction is opposite the fourth direction. The taping member includes a first guide member, a second guide member, and a cutting member positioned between the first guide member and the second guide member. The support arm is movably connected with a track that is rotatable from a first position to a second position. The taping apparatus is configured to tape containers of various dimensions and orientations.
