There is described a packaging apparatus ( 1 ) for forming sealed packages ( 2 ) from a tube ( 3 ). The packaging apparatus ( 1 ) has an endless conveyor device ( 7 ) arranged in a conveyor zone ( 8 ), conveying carts ( 9 ) and operative units ( 10, 10′ ) moved by the plurality of conveying carts ( 9 ) along a path (P, Q). Each operative unit ( 10, 10′ ) moves between an operative configuration, in which the operative unit ( 10, 10′ ) manipulates the tube ( 3 ) and a rest configuration in which the operative unit ( 10, 10′ ) is detached from the tube ( 3 ). Each operative unit ( 10, 10′ ) has a halfshell ( 36 ) and one of a sealing element ( 37 a ) or a counter-sealing element ( 37 b ) and each operative unit ( 10, 10′ ) is carried by one respective conveying cart ( 9 ) and extends laterally away therefrom so that the conveyor zone ( 8 ) is laterally spaced apart from an operative zone ( 33 ) where the tube is manipulated.
