In an apparatus for securing girth binding wires to the sides of an open sided flat container wherein wire manipulations are performed on a wire section secured to a container blank to bend the binding wire ends over the top edge of the sides and drive them into the container blank, first and second crossbars are provided which are respectively vertically reciprocally mounted transverse of the path of travel of the container blank. The first of the crossbars is positioned above the path of the container blank and has mounted thereon a wire manipulating device which cuts the binding wire and bends it downward as the first crossbar is lowered. The second crossbar is positioned below the path of the container blank and has a wire bending and clinching device mounted thereon such that, as the second crossbar is raised, the binding and clinching device engages the previously cut and bent wire ends and wipes them back against the bottom sides of the container blank. As the second crossbar approaches the top of its range, the wire ends are driven into the second side of the container blank.
