An apparatus include a pusher assembly and a nozzle assembly. The pusher assembly has a pusher cap configured to push a product into a bag. The nozzle assembly is coupled to the pusher assembly. The nozzle assembly has a nozzle from which the nozzle assembly can selectively direct a stream of gas. The nozzle is arranged so that the stream of gas is directed from the nozzle toward an inner surface of a neck of the bag. When the nozzle assembly selectively directs the stream of gas from the nozzle toward the inner surface of the neck of the bag after the pusher cap has pushed the product into the bag, the stream of gas directed toward the inner surface of the neck of the bag flattens the neck of the bag with the product located in the bag.
