         7 . The packaging device according to  claim 2 , further comprising a second lateral thrust unit ( 10 ), which pushes the products ( 30 ,  40 ) into an empty package ( 20 ) at the second space ( 4   b ) of the loading station ( 4 ). 
     
     
         8 . The packaging device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a vibrating unit ( 12 ) for vibrating the packaging container ( 21 ). 
     
     
         9 . The packaging device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the package feed ( 2 ) and the product feed ( 3 ) are arranged parallel to one another. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging device according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the second lateral thrust unit ( 10 ) comprises a storage space ( 10   a ), whereat a plurality of products ( 30 ,  40 ) are temporarily stored, wherein said second lateral thrust unit ( 10 ) pushes the temporarily stored products ( 30 ,  40 ) as a unit into the package ( 20 ) at the second space ( 4   b ) of the loading station ( 4 ). 
     
     
         11 . The packaging device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the package feed ( 2 ) comprises a format-adjusting unit ( 22 ) in order to facilitate a changeover to other packaging formats. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the loading station ( 4 ) comprises tilting equipment ( 9 ), and the empty package ( 20 ) is tilted by 90°. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the package feed ( 2 ) and the product feed ( 3 ) are arranged parallel to one another and the cardboard-box discharge ( 5 ) is arranged parallel to said package feed ( 2 ) and product feed ( 3 ). 
     
     
         14 . The packaging device according to  claim 3 , further comprising a first lateral thrust unit ( 8 ), which pushes the empty package ( 20 ) from the package feed ( 2 ) onto the first space ( 4   a ) of the loading station ( 4 ). 
     
     
         15 . The packaging device according to  claim 14 , characterized in that the loading station ( 4 ) comprises tilting equipment ( 9 ). 
     
     
         16 . The packaging device according to  claim 15 , characterized in that the tilting equipment ( 9 ) comprises a support area ( 9   a ), wherein one side of the package ( 20 ) abuts on the support area ( 9   a ).
