A packing method, and apparatus for effecting the method, wherein a stack of flexible articles such as film bags are positioned over a support having a narrow aperture extending from one edge of the stack to the opposed edge so that the central portion of the stack is unsupported. An open top carton is positioned beneath the aperture, and an overhead plunger with line contact on the top of the stack pushes downward in alignment with the aperture to buckle the stack of bags and force them through the aperture into the carton. While one stack of bags is being packed, some of the first bags of the next stack are diverted from the conveying path, and are followed by subsequent bags. This diverting operation thus allows time for the packaging operation without interruption of the continuous output of the machine supplying the bags. |
