Abstract
Apparatus for inserting a film-wrapped package into a carton. A relatively flat film-wrapped package, sealed along a peripherally extending flange that projects away from its contents, is inserted into a carton through an open side having closure flaps. To ensure against interference of the flange with the closure flap upon closing the carton, the package is inserted using a pushing device having a concavely curved face engageable with the package flange, and operative to curl the flange into the carton for frictional retention by a wall of the carton.
