How it's used
While 填滿 is understood in writing, speakers almost exclusively use 塞滿 in daily life to describe filling a space to capacity. It carries a sense of physical crowding or cramming, often implying that the object is now bursting or difficult to close. Use it when you want to emphasize that there is absolutely no room left for anything else.

Common mistake
Do not confuse 塞滿 with 填寫, which is used for filling out forms or paperwork. 塞滿 is strictly for physical objects occupying space, whereas 填寫 is for providing information in written fields.
