An apparatus for forming a regular stack of folding boxes wherein each box has unequal thicknesses at the end portions thereof. The apparatus has a conveyor belt for feeding the boxes and an upper and lower stacking station situated on two different planes. The boxes are fed from the conveyor belt only to the upper stacking station to form a partial stack thereon with light thickness ends in superposition. The partial stack from the upper stacking station by disposing a turntable from the lower stacking station vertically beneath the upper stacking station, providing displaceable floors in the upper stacking station to enable passage of a partial stack vertically downwardly to the turntable and mounting the turntable for rotation about a vertical axis to effect the stacking of successive partial stacks thereon with unlike thickness ends in superposition.
