An apparatus and method for receiving a plurality of containers packed inverted within cardboard or other flexible- walled cases and for automatically unpacking the containers so they may be filled or otherwise processed by conventional equip- ment. The apparatus and method incorporate means to apply a compressive force to opposed sides of the cases in order to cause the containers to be retained within the case and, in cases having flaps, to cause the major and minor flaps to move into alignment with the container sides to which the flaps are hinged. The amount of force is sufficient to retain the contain- ers within the cases even when they are inverted in order to place the cases and the containers over a conveyor which may then receive the containers and convey them downstream in a conventional manner. The invention includes means for removing the inverted empty cases from the now right-side up containers and for placing the case in a separate location so that the case and the containers may independently move downstream and be further processed in a conventional manner.
