Capsule Manufacturing

Hard capsules fill powder or granules into a two-piece shell — a versatile form well suited to small-batch, multi-SKU production and quick formulation changes.This guide covers what to know when producing hard-capsule supplements via OEM — capsule material, size, content, and regulatory points.

When hard capsules fit

Hard capsules fill powder/granules directly with no tableting step, which is advantageous for heat- or pressure-sensitive ingredients and allows relatively quick formulation changes.They often suit early small-batch, multi-SKU lineups and prototype stages.

  • Fills powder/granules directly (no tableting step)
  • Relatively favorable for heat/pressure-sensitive ingredients
  • Faster formulation and content changes

Capsule material & size

Capsules are gelatin (animal-based) or HPMC (plant-based).For vegan/halal positioning, consider HPMC.Size (00, 0, 1, etc.) is set by target fill volume; a high content can enlarge the capsule or raise the daily count.

Content, disintegration & labeling

Fill volume and excipient design match target content and uniformity, and disintegration (how the capsule dissolves to release contents) is confirmed.Functionality must be expressed only within the scope recognized by regulators; claims asserting disease prevention or treatment cannot be used.

Getting started

Organize your target ingredients, content, and volume, then request a quote — you'll receive a material/size/formulation direction suited to the hard-capsule form and an estimated timeline after review.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make vegan capsules?

An HPMC (plant-based) capsule allows vegan-oriented hard capsules to be considered.

Capsule or tablet — which is better?

Capsules suit heat/pressure-sensitive or small-batch multi-SKU cases; tablets suit high content and cost efficiency.Decide together by ingredient and concept.

How is the daily count decided?

It depends on target content and capsule size; the design also considers swallowability.

Are odor/taste ingredients possible?

The capsule wraps the ingredient to help the experience; a design matched to the ingredient is needed.
