The apparatus comprises a take-off conveyor which includes a multitude of support parts which form a conveyor belt. The support parts are movable with respect to each other and point transversely outwardly from the conveyor path. A plunger moves out from the surface of the support part towards a side wall of the package to indent the same at a certain portion of the package formation cycle. A switch cam plate or the like causes movement of the plunger between a contact position in which the plunger contacts and indents a portion of the package and another position in which the plunger does not engage the package.This application is a continuation, of application Ser.
