Abstract This apparatus is to automatically enclose in bags and pack in cases or cartons packages of yarn formed on the supports such as cops, pirns or bobbins by positioning the packages above a position where they are supposed to be enclosed in bags and encased in cases or cartons after they have been picked up from a bobbin pallet with bobbin arrestors, keeping open the bags for enclosing the packages with bag-holding bars provided with vacuum mechanism for opening the bags, positioning the bags under the packages placing the case or carton under the bags whereby the bobbin arrestors are lowered, the carton is raised, the packages are released from the hold of the bobbin arrestors and dropped. Both the enclosing in bags and the packing in cartons of the packages of yarn are automatically conducted at a time.
