A negative pressure device (15) is provided which is arranged in a corner section (9) between the lateral walls (3, 4, 5, 6). In the method for filling packages (60), a package (60) is supplied to the receiving area (2) of such a filling box (1) of a filling unit (100) of a packaging system. The negative pressure device (15) is then activated in order to suction a flexible wall (61) of a package (60) against the corner section (9) between the lateral walls (3, 4, 5, 6) of the receiving area (2) of the filling box (1).
