Abstract: A cartoning machine (10) including a carton supply station (12) (e.g., a rotary carton supply station, a linear carton supply station, a non- linear carton supply station, or the like) and a handling station (14) operatively coupled to the carton supply station. The carton supply station provides, on a selective basis, cartons, such as carton blanks (102, 104, 106), pre-formed cartons, or the like. The carton supply station of the cartoning machine provides for movement of magazines (11) with respect to a robot (15) in the handling station that may have a distal end secured in a stationary and fixed location. As such, different magazines with dissimilar cartons may be moved to a picking location adjacent the robot, as dissimilar cartons are required. Further, the cartons within the magazines may be moved to a pre- determined pick-up location such that the robot is repeatably picking a carton from the pre-determine pick-up location.
