A bag-making apparatus delivers to a stacking station a succession of like flat and flexible folded shopping bags. A packaging apparatus stacks these bags at the stacking station up into a stack with the objects generally planar in the stack. The stack is then transferred to a loading cassette provided in a packaging station adjacent the stacking station and having a floor formed with an elongated throughgoing slot. An upwardly open carton is then positioned under and around the cassette and the stack is pushed out of the slot in the bottom of the floor of the cassette, temporarily deforming each of the bags from planar to U-shape as they pass through the slot. In this manner the entire stack is pushed through the slot into the carton.
