a second upstream star wheel configured to move a plurality of second containers along a second travel path;
a second downstream star wheel configured to move the plurality of second containers along the second travel path, wherein the second downstream star wheel is located downstream of the second upstream star wheel in a conveying direction in which the second containers are conveyed;
a plurality of second support bodies with a surface that engages with the second containers as the second containers move downstream for packaging to be applied to the second containers,
wherein the plurality of second support bodies are operatively connected to be moved about a second support body path; and

wherein the packaging path at least partially overlaps with the second support body path to overlay the fiber-based packaging onto tops of the second containers while the plurality of second support bodies maintain contact with the second containers.
