Abstract: A packaging system for packaging articles in bag-like containers. An adjustable support disposed below a loading station receives the lower end of a container positioned in the loading station and articles loaded into the container. The support includes a pair of relatively movable members defining surfaces which converge toward each other to support the container when loaded. The spacing and relative inclination between the members is adjustable to accommodate different sized articles and containers. Since the members form a downwardly converging support, articles being dropped into a container being loaded are funneled between the members which absorb the impact of the falling articles.
