A method and apparatus is provided for providing a zippered bag in an open configuration to allow its filling with packages or other like items. The apparatus includes an automatic bag zipping feature, and is resettable by depression of a foot pedal by an operator. The bag is maintained in its "open" position by a pair of flaps, which when open tend to hold the bag mouth open, but when closed no longer interfere with the bag mouth, such that a pull arm can pull the bag mouth into a closed position, and a zip arm can zip the mouth closed. The zip and pull arms are transported by a weight falling under the influence of gravity, which can be reset manually by an operator.
