Abstract: A product packaging includes a box blank having panels, flaps, creases, and cuts. An intersection of multiple creases and a cut defines an unfolded corner of the box blank. The product packaging also includes a corner protector attachable to the box blank adjacent to the unfolded corner. The corner protector includes a primary panel, a first leg panel, and a second leg panel that are arranged in a non-linear configuration. A packaging system includes a conveyor system with a gap therein, a corner protector placement mechanism for placing corner protectors on the box blank, and a transfer mechanism for positioning to-be-packaged item on the box blank. The gap allows for the box blank and to-be-packaged item to pass at least partially therethrough and facilitates folding of the box blank at least partially around the to-be-packaged item.
