An automatic packaging machine for forming a latching flip-top box from a blank. A plurality of mandrels are coupled to a conveyor system. Each of the mandrels includes a mounting block for coupling the mandrel to the automatic packaging machine, a package-holding assembly operatively connected to the mounting block and being rotatable about a first axis from a first position to a second position, and a flap holder assembly operatively connected to the mounting block. The flap holder assembly is rotatable about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A plurality of plows and tucker assemblies sequentially manipulate portions of the blank in order to form portions of the box.

What is claimed is: 1. A mandrel for use with an automatic packaging machine comprising: a. a mounting block rotatably coupled to the automatic packaging machine; b. a package-holding assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the package-holding assembly having a free end and a fixed end, the free end having a secured position and an unsecured position and being rotatable about a first axis between the secured position and the unsecured position; and c. a flap holder assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the flap holder assembly rotatable about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. 2. The mandrel of claim 1, further comprising a lateral support member coupled to the mounting block, wherein the package-holding assembly is rotatably connected to the lateral support member. 3. The mandrel of claim 2, further comprising means for maintaining the package-holding assembly in a first position relative to the lateral support member. 4. The mandrel of claim 3, wherein the maintaining means comprises a latching member coupled to the lateral support member, the latching member releaseably mating with a bushing on the package-holding assembly. 5. The mandrel of claim 3, wherein the package-holding assembly comprises a plurality of gripping arms, the plurality of gripping arms selectively permitting a package blank to be captured by the package-holding assembly. 6. The mandrel of claim 5, wherein the package-holding assembly further comprises a guide mechanism positioned within the plurality of gripping arms, the guide mechanism holding the package blank during the assembly thereof. 7. The mandrel of claim 2, wherein the flap holder assembly includes a plurality of side arms for contacting portions of a package blank. 8. The mandrel of claim 1 wherein a latch is coupled to the lateral support member for releasably connecting the free end of the package-holding assembly. 9. A mandrel for use with an automatic packaging machine in forming a package with a flip-top, comprising: a. a mounting block for coupling the mandrel to the automatic packaging machine, b. a package-holding assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the package-holding assembly having a free end and a fixed end, the free end having a secured position and an unsecured position and being rotatable about a first axis between the secured position and the unsecured position; c. a lateral support member coupled to the mounting block, wherein the package-holding assembly is rotatably connected to the lateral support member; d. a latch coupled to the lateral support member for releasably connecting the free end of the package-holding assembly; and e. a flap holder assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the flap holder assembly rotatable about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. 10. The mandrel of claim 9, wherein the package-holding assembly includes a plurality of gripping arms for selectively permitting a package blank to be captured by the package-holding assembly. 11. The mandrel of claim 10, wherein the package-holding assembly further comprises a guide mechanism positioned within the plurality of gripping arms, the guide mechanism holding the package blank during the assembly thereof. 12. The mandrel of claim 9, wherein the flap holder assembly includes a plurality of side arms for contacting portions of a package blank. 13. A mandrel for use with an automatic packaging machine having a mounting block for coupling to the automatic packaging machine, the mandrel comprising: a. a package-holding assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the package-holding assembly having a free end and a fixed end, the free end having a secured position and an unsecured position and being rotatable about a first axis between the secured position and the unsecured position; and b. a flap holder assembly operatively connected to the mounting block, the flap holder assembly rotatable about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. 14. The mandrel of claim 13 wherein a lateral support member is coupled to the mounting block, and wherein the package-holding assembly is rotatably connected to the lateral support member. 15. The mandrel of claim 13 wherein a latch is coupled to the lateral support member for releasably connecting the free end of the package-holding assembly.
