A mailer machine including a mailer supply station (e.g., a rotary mailer supply station, a linear mailer supply station, a non-linear mailer supply station, or the like) and a handling station operatively coupled to the mailer supply station. The mailer supply station provides, on a selective basis, mailers having different attributes. The mailer supply station of the mailer machine provides for movement of magazines with respect to a robot in the handling station that may have a distal end secured in a stationary and fixed location. As such, different magazines with dissimilar mailers may be moved to a picking location adjacent the robot, as dissimilar mailers are required. Further, the mailers within the magazines may be moved to a pre-determined pick-up location such that the robot is repeatably picking a mailer from the pre-determine pick-up location.
A mailer packaging apparatus comprising:
A method of packaging products in mailers using a mailer packaging apparatus, wherein the mailer packaging apparatus comprises a handling station having a robot, a mailer supply station having a plurality of magazines for holding the mailers, wherein the plurality of magazines are moveable with respect to the robot, and a packaging station comprising a plurality of mailer pockets configured to receive the mailers for packaging, the method comprising:
