Described is a machine ( 5 ) for making and packaging articles ( 1 ) containing infusion product, the machine ( 5 ) being of the type defined by a production line (A) comprising a plurality of operating stations located one after the other and designed to make at least one continuous strip (S) by superposing and sealing two webs of filter paper with measured quantities or charges ( 4 ) of infusion product interposed between them at regular intervals; and at least one cutting station ( 6 ) for dividing up the strip (S) to form a succession of individual articles ( 1 ). The machine ( 5 ) further comprises at least one built-in packaging station ( 8, 8 a) for packaging groups of the articles ( 1 ) in bag-like packets ( 10 ). The built-in packaging station ( 8, 8 a) is located immediately downstream of the cutting station ( 6 ) and comprises a packaging device ( 9 ) for making up stacks ( 1 a, 1 b) with the articles ( 1 ) and 15 a transfer device ( 11 ) which guides the stacks ( 1 a, 1 b) of articles ( 1 ) along a vertical feed path section (Z) transversal to the production line (A) and feeds them into the bag-like packets ( 10 ).
