An apparatus for handling of unsealed slit boxes (2) of the type having at least at the bottom thereof two pairs of close flaps (3, 4), and which comprises a cradle-like support (11) in the form of a U-bar which is open at the top and which at the bottom is formed with a guide and lock bar (17) having two lock plates (19, 20) provided spaced one above the other and spaced from the bottom of the cradle support and between which two opposite close flaps (4) at the bottom of the slit box (2) can be introduced and moved in the longitudinal direction of the cradle support while retaining the slit box and preventing the slit box from moving upwards. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the cradle support (11) is mounted on a Z-bar (12) which is rotatable about a horizontal axis (13) and which is actuatable by a piston-cylinder unit (21) to be rotated from an initial horizontal position for receiving and discharging the slit box (2) to a substantially vertical position in which the slit box (2) receives the goods to be packed.
