A machine for packaging articles in the tobacco industry, in particular for packaging cigarettes by means of hinged-lid packets, comprising a first section equipped with intermittent motion and to which, during the operation, are fed a plurality of articles and at least one first wrapping material intended to wrap respective groups of the articles to obtain a semi-finished packet defining a partial wrapping of each group of articles, in particular an inner wrapper; and a second section equipped with continuous motion configured to receive the semi-finished packets from the first section and to which, during the operation, is fed at least a second wrapping material, in particular a blank made of cardboard, intended to wrap the semi-finished packet to obtain a complete packet; in which the machine comprises an interface conveyor interposed between the first and the second section (100a, 100b), the interface conveyor being configured to receive the semi-finished packets according to an intermittent movement from the first section and to transfer the semi-finished packets to the second section according to a continuous movement; the machine being characterized in that the interface conveyor comprises: - a conveyor belt having a plurality of drawers designed to receive and retain the semi-finished packet and defining a closed path, the closed path having an forward branch defining a straight forward path facing the first section and a return branch defining a straight return path, parallel to the straight forward path, facing the second section; - a support of the conveyor belt, which is movable along a sliding direction, parallel to the paths defined by the forward and return branches, according to a loading movement and a repositioning movement; wherein during the loading movement the speed of movement of the support is of equal module and direction and opposite sense relative to a tangential speed of movement of the forward branch of the conveyor belt in such a way that the drawers present in the forward branch are substantially stationary relative to the first section to receive from the first section semi-finished packets, with intermittent motion; wherein during the repositioning movement the speed of movement of the support is of equal direction and sense and different module relative to a tangential speed of movement of the forward branch of the conveyor belt in such a way that the drawers present in the forward branch are movable relative to the first section and wherein during the loading and repositioning movement the drawers present in the return section are movable relative to the second section with a constant speed to transfer products to the second section in a continuous fashion. in which the machine comprises an interface conveyor interposed between the first and the second section (100a, 100b), the interface conveyor being configured to receive the semi-finished packets according to an intermittent movement from the first section and to transfer the semi-finished packets to the second section according to a continuous movement; the machine being characterized in that the interface conveyor comprises: - a conveyor belt having a plurality of drawers designed to receive and retain the semi-finished packet and defining a closed path, the closed path having an forward branch defining a straight forward path facing the first section and a return branch defining a straight return path, parallel to the straight forward path, facing the second section;
