Abstract: The invention relates to a process for glueing carton bodies, wherein the carton is fed in its extended condition and caused to wrap around a form having the shape of the erected and assembled carton body by means of suitable guides, until the carton body is closed by joining the side with the opposite end flap with glue, sliding the closed carton body along said form while keeping the said body pressed against said form through the guide and sliding means for sufficient length and time to provide for the adhesion setting between the glued flaps, and then discharging the carton from the form in such a way as to have the body thereof glued and in an erected, open and assembled position, ready to be fed to the carton filling and closing line.
