The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing packages, comprising a fist plurality of arms () which are at substantially equal mutual spacing, on symmetric distribution about a circle, radially extend about a geometric axis (X) and located in a common plane at right angles to the axis, as well as a second plurality of treatment stations () which are disposed a radial distance from the axis (X), as well as rotary means which are disposed to rotate the arms intermittently about the axis (X) between the treatment stations (), the arms () and the treatment stations () being disposed in relation to one another such that the position of the arms () and the position of the treatment stations () coincide after the intermittent rotations. In a single indexing state, the apparatus () is configured to be disposed to rotate the arms to one distribution at a time, and in a double indexing state, to be disposed to rotate the arms () two distributions at a time.
