The apparatus comprises a moveable holding means (114; 216a, 216b) for supporting and moving the package; at least two formers (110, 106a, 106b; 230a, 230b) and a cover flap (35) closing mechanism. The moveable holding means (114; 216a, 216b) being deployable to position the package between the at least two formers (110, 106a, 106b; 230a, 230b) and the package and at least two formers being moveable relative to one another to manipulate the upper sealing panels (30, 32) from an open position wherein the upper sealing panels (30, 32) are spaced apart to a sealed position wherein the upper sealing panels (30, 32) are in a contacting position. The closing mechanism operable to secure the package in said sealed position thereby to complete the formation of the package and the holding means being of sufficient height to provide support to a flexible container held within the package.
