Provided are a novel packing method whereby it is possible to prevent bridging in a chute for feeding articles into a tube-shaped bag, and a packaging device for implementing the method. In the packing method, articles (M) dropped from above are gathered in a funnel-shaped chute (103), after which the articles (M) are dropped while the chute is accelerated in a state in which an outlet of the chute is opened, the chute is then abruptly reversed and lifted, and the articles collected in the chute are released into a tube-shaped bag (TB) while being accelerated. A packaging device (B) is provided with a cylinder (7) for filling a tube-shaped bag with articles dropped therein, and is configured so as to raise and lower the chute within the cylinder. |
