Abstract
A packing apparatus and its corresponding method for loading articles, having been arranged into a stack ( 4 ), into a packaging ( 5 ). The apparatus includes a carrying means ( 11 ) for carrying the stack ( 4 ), and a compressing means ( 12 ) for collecting the stack ( 4 ) from the carrying means ( 11 ) and transferring the stack ( 4 ) into the packaging ( 5 ) through an open end of the packaging ( 5 ). The compressing means ( 12 ) is further adapted to compress the stack ( 4 ) for sizing it sufficiently, so that the stack ( 4 ) is loaded into the packaging ( 5 ) together with the compressing means ( 12 ).
