An apparatus (200) and method which may facilitate the placing of rod-like articles, such as cigarettes, into waiting packaging, including a space into which articles may be inserted, this space described by a base (201) and a plurality of side walls (210). A sheet of deformable material (240) may then be secured to the apparatus (200), such as by vacuum force provided via vacuum openings (230,231) located in the side walls (210), to further bound the space and provide support for the articles contained therein while the apparatus (200) is transported or reoriented during the packaging method.
