There is provided a superhigh-speed filling and packaging apparatus having a high performance capable of manufacturing more than 8,000 packs per hour without leaving fluid at sealed parts of the containers. The filling and packaging apparatus fills a packaging material web formed in a tubular shape with fluid to manufacture package containers. The apparatus includes a lateral sealing apparatus for laterally sealing the tubular web filled with the fluid at intervals, each corresponding to one container, and a cutting apparatus, disposed under and remote from the lateral sealing apparatus, for cutting sealed parts of the containers while the containers are suspended to separate the containers.
