An apparatus for withdrawing from a carton feed hopper collapsed cartons (16, 116) having oppositely disposed panels and for initiating set up thereof, comprises carton pick-up means (9, 10, 11) for sequentially engaging one of the opposed panels and for withdrawing from the hopper a collapsed carton which includes the one panel, and means for transferring the carton orbitally about a primary generally horizontal axis from the hopper to an infeed end of a packaging machine. Panel engaging means (11a) is provided within the path of orbit for engaging the other of the panels in a manner to pull the other panel in a direction away from the carton pick-up means (9, 10, 11) so as to initiate opening of the carton.
