The invention relates to a method of producing a product comprising a support having a long-acting adhesive and a protective tape disposed thereon, so that said adhesive can be used at a later time. The inventive method is characterised in that it consists in: determining a reference plane (P) which is close to the location of the adhesive deposit and which is either below the plane containing the lower face of the support or above the plane containing the upper face of said support; establishing the distance (D) separating the reference plane (P) and the level (N) at which the adhesive (2) is delivered, which is close to the plane containing the application face of the support; delivering the long-acting adhesive (2); delivering a protective tape (20) which is disposed on top of the adhesive (2) either simultaneously using a prefabricated transfer tape or separately; moving the support in relation to the deposit station; exerting a transverse force on the support such that one of the faces thereof is applied continuously against the reference plane (P); and exerting a pressure, counter to the transverse force, on the protective tape (20) and the adhesive (2).
