A bag filling and weighing apparatus having a bag applying station and diametrically opposite thereto a single combined filling and weighting station at which simultaneous feeding of articles by both bulk and dribble feed methods is provided, both dribble and bulk feed having a common discharge zone and both dribble and bulk feed being operable until a preselected underweight condition is reached at which time the bulk feed is stopped and the dribble feed continues feeding until a precise final weight is reached at the single station. The apparatus includes means to rapidly transmit weight of each article to a scale before the article is received in a bag or box, and includes means to impart vibrations in a horizontal plane to the bag or box during filling independently of the weight sensing by the scale.
