An apparatus for filling and closing sacks or bags, in particular paper side folding sacks, has a plurality of processing stations including a filling station, stationary clamping elements for holding the sack in an open position and a slide cyclically movable between processing stations. Outside grippers are mounted on the slide which are designed to grasp an at least partially filled sack at its side folding by clamping the folding from the outside in said filling station and transporting the sack by means of the slide to the succeeding processing station.
