System for transporting items to a packaging station comprising at least a first, a second and a third conveyor, - said first conveyor being configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items (70, 72, 74, 76) in a first transport direction onto the third conveyor, - said second conveyor being configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items in a second transport direction onto the third conveyor, and - said third conveyor being configured for transporting said arrangements from the first and the second conveyor in a third, a fourth and a fifth transport direction towards a packaging station, wherein said first, second and third transport directions are substantially parallel to each other and said fourth and fifth transport directions are opposite to each other and substantially orthogonal to said first, second and third transport directions, characterized by comprising - an align conveyor configured for transporting said arrangements (64, 66) of one or more items from the third or, if provided, further conveyors arranged downstream of the third conveyor, in a sixth, a seventh and an eighth transport direction, - said align conveyer adapted to allow said third conveyor to transport an arrangement present on it in the third and as necessary in the fourth or fifth transport direction in dependence of the width seen in the fourth or fifth transport direction (23, 24) of a next arrangement to be transported onto the third conveyor -- either to a transfer position for unloading the arrangement present on the third conveyor, in which the arrangement is already aligned with respect to a box to be created for the arrangement at the packaging station, -- or past such transfer position in which it would be in alignment with the box to be created for the arrangement, in case doing so would still allow to unload the arrangement present on the third conveyor while at the same time facilitating transporting the next arrangement onto the third conveyor. - said first conveyor being configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items (70, 72, 74, 76) in a first transport direction onto the third conveyor, - said second conveyor being configured for transporting arrangements of one or more items in a second transport direction onto the third conveyor, and - said third conveyor being configured for transporting said arrangements from the first and the second conveyor in a third, a fourth and a fifth transport direction towards a packaging station, - an align conveyor configured for transporting said arrangements (64, 66) of one or more items from the third or, if provided, further conveyors arranged downstream of the third conveyor, in a sixth, a seventh and an eighth transport direction, - said align conveyer adapted to allow said third conveyor to transport an arrangement present on it in the third and as necessary in the fourth or fifth transport direction in dependence of the width seen in the fourth or fifth transport direction (23, 24) of a next arrangement to be transported onto the third conveyor -- either to a transfer position for unloading the arrangement present on the third conveyor, in which the arrangement is already aligned with respect to a box to be created for the arrangement at the packaging station, -- or past such transfer position in which it would be in alignment with the box to be created for the arrangement, in case doing so would still allow to unload the arrangement present on the third conveyor while at the same time facilitating transporting the next arrangement onto the third conveyor. -- either to a transfer position for unloading the arrangement present on the third conveyor, in which the arrangement is already aligned with respect to a box to be created for the arrangement at the packaging station, -- or past such transfer position in which it would be in alignment with the box to be created for the arrangement, in case doing so would still allow to unload the arrangement present on the third conveyor while at the same time facilitating transporting the next arrangement onto the third conveyor.
