Abstract: A box folding and article packaging apparatus has a lower tool section positioned below a work support surface and several upper tool sections positioned above the work support surface. The lower tool section includes four modular corner units each with folding flaps and a fixed support element. The four support elements together define the work support surface. The four corner units are displaceable relative to each other for adapting the apparatus for handling blanks of different sizes. A precut and precreased blank is first placed on the work support surface. The article to be packaged is then placed on the blank whereupon folding begins. One upper tool section also includes folding elements for folding a cover portion of a box and closing the box. Another upper tool section includes either adhesive applicators or staplers or the like for fastening folded blank sections to one another to complete the carton around the article or articles.
