Filling & sealing machinery

Application
Tub, pot and cup projects combine product handling with lid presentation, sealing consistency and often a premium pack finish. This page summarises the main questions that shape the machinery shortlist.
Reviewed by the Lancing UK technical team · Updated April 2026
Tubs, pots and cups often require accurate indexing because the container is open before lidding and sealing. That makes presentation, container nesting and product behaviour important from the first step.
If the pack uses snap-on lids, foil seals, heat-sealed film or overcaps, each finishing route has implications for the rest of the line.
These projects are often more reliable when the filling and sealing steps are planned together instead of as separate purchases. Lid presentation, headspace, product splash and seal cleanliness all influence performance.
If the line will later feed sleeving, cartoning or secondary packing, allow room in the layout from the start.
Share the product details, container format, lidding method, target output and any changeover expectations. The more clearly the finished pack is defined, the faster the shortlist becomes useful.
It also helps to say whether the project is a new line, a manual process upgrade or a replacement for existing equipment.
Send the product, pack format and output target and Lancing UK can help narrow down the machinery families, integration points and next practical step.

No. Tubs, pots and cups are used across food, cosmetic, personal-care and specialist industrial applications.
Yes. The lid or seal format strongly influences the best filling and sealing route.
Yes. The team can help compare standalone systems and wider integrated routes based on the production task.
