In terms of their operational reliability, apparatuses for discharging from a magazine of flat-laid packaging container blanks of the type used for manufacturing packaging containers for liquid contents are greatly dependent upon the quality of the packaging container blanks themselves. In the event of varying friction or abutment pressure between the packaging container blanks, there is a risk that more than one blank is discharged at a time, or alternatively that no blank is discharged at all. In order to ensure a dependable function with repeated discharge of one blank at a time and at a predetermined rate, the apparatus according to the present invention includes a pivotal lever (9) provided with a suction cup or cups (11), the lever displacing one packaging container blank (5) at a time from the discharge end of a magazine past a segmented wheel which grasps the discharged blank (5) between a rubber cladding (15) and a counter wheel (13) for further advancement to a conveyor (21).
