Abstract
An improved packing device is disclosed which features an upwardly biased bag table for receiving a stack of plastic bags. A press member holds down the uppermost of the stack of bags at its mouth end. A pickup device is brought into engagement with the upper surface of the uppermost bag of the stack as the pressure of the uppermost bag against the press member is momentarily reduced, so that the pickup member is enabled to pull out the top surface of the bag from under the press member. The lower surface of the uppermost bag is then retained by the press member so that a blower supplying air to the end of the mouth of the bag to open it fully does not cause the bag to be blown away.
