An apparatus for filling packaging boxes with flat, angular articles, includes an intermediate container accommodating the articles in a random pile; a charging hopper introducing the articles into the packaging boxes; and a conveying arrangement delivering the articles from the intermediate container into the charging hopper. The conveying arrangement has a first aligner including a plurality of serially arranged troughs each having side walls and a bottom wall defining a channel. The channels formed in the troughs are serially connected to form a continuous conveying track having an outlet end. The channels include an aligning arrangement for turning the articles, advancing thereon in a flow, into an at least approximately parallel orientation by the time they arrive to the outlet end of the conveying track. The conveying arrangement further has a second aligner including a rotary transfer wheel situated between the outlet end of the conveying track and the discharge hopper for conveying articles in an at least approximately parallel orientation to one another from the outlet end of the conveying track to the charging hopper.
