Abstract: A box former may include a carton blank dispensing device that holds a carton blank and carton moving devices that move the carton blank from the carton blank dispensing device and positions it between a plunger and a forming well. The forming well may include a floor, one or more walls, and an opening. The plunger may be configured to move between a retracted position and one or more extended positions, the plunger contacting a top surface of the carton blank and pushing the carton blank into the forming well through the opening of the forming well. In some implementations, the box former may include forming guides that contact points on a bottom surface of the carton blank when it is pushed by the plunger to cause the carton blank to fold into a formed carton.
