Claim 16:
17. An assembly for conveying and folding a segmented liner panel for insertion into a box, the liner panel having fold lines defining a first end segment, a central segment, and a second end segment, the assembly comprising:
a panel engagement mechanism comprising a panel prehension tool configured to selectively engage the central segment of the liner panel at a pickup position and at least one motion actuator configured to displace the panel prehension tool; and
a panel folding mechanism comprising a frame and first and second folding projections extending outwardly from the frame towards the pickup position, the first and second folding projections being spaced horizontally from each other;
wherein as the panel engagement mechanism conveys the central segment of the liner panel from the pickup position to a position proximate the frame of the panel folding mechanism and between the first and second folding projections, the first and the second folding projections, respectively, direct the first and the second end segments to fold towards the central segment.
