What is the main challenge with adhesive filling?
Viscosity, stringing, clean-down and material compatibility are common challenges.
Industry route
Adhesives and glues require packaging machinery that considers viscosity, stringing, clean-down, material compatibility and closure reliability.
Reviewed by the Lancing UK technical team · Updated May 2026
Adhesives can be viscous, stringy, temperature-sensitive or difficult to clean. Those behaviours affect pump selection, nozzle design, product-contact materials and sealing.
The specification must reflect the actual product rather than treating it as a generic liquid.
Caps, nozzles, tubes, cartridges or containers may need careful closure handling and label placement.
Presentation and leak prevention are both important where products are sticky or high value.
Start with product samples, fill volume, target output and cleaning requirements. If there is a hazardous or solvent context, raise it at the first enquiry.
Lancing UK can help compare filling and line-support options for viscous products.
Send Lancing UK your product, pack format, closure, label requirement, output target and current production issue. The team can help compare the most realistic machinery route before you commit to a specification.
