Packaging apparatus comprises an intermittently moving conveyor mounting a succession of open top open side trays each containing a stack of packages and a carton filling station where a reciprocable pusher is actuated in synchronism with the conveyor to push the stack of packages into an aligned carton. The package stack in each receptacle is tamped and compacted to a lesser effective height particularly along the front and rear side edges prior to moving that receptacle into the filling station for facilitating entry of the stack into a carton and ensuring proper closure of the carton end flaps.
