An apparatus for converting a one-piece paperboard blank into a packaging tray comprises an upright magazine for storing a stack of paperboard blanks, a feeding device beneath the magazine for removing the blanks one by one and advancing the blanks to a forming station, and a forming and gluing device for simultaneously folding and gluing the blank to form an upright tray. The forming and gluing device includes a plunger moving in a vertical axis. The plunger includes a press means corresponding to the dimensions of the bottom panel. The forming station further has a frame defining an opening to accommodate the plunger in its movement along the vertical axis and includes upwardly and outwardly sloped walls defining the opening. The sloped walls engage the second and third panels of the blank to form side and rear panels of the tray. A glue applicator is used to add glue to the glue flaps and to fold the glue flaps onto the other of said second and third panels in order to complete the formation of the tray.
