Top Trusted Custom Capsule Formulation Manufacturers & Exporters

HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) capsules offer superior chemical stability, particularly for moisture-sensitive, hygroscopic, or deliquescent formulations. Standard gelatin capsules contain 13%-16% bound moisture; if filled with hygroscopic powders, the shell donates water to the core, causing the gelatin shell to become brittle and crack. Conversely, HPMC shells maintain a low moisture content of 4%-7%, preventing shell degradation and eliminating chemical cross-linking caused by aldehydes. Furthermore, HPMC is 100% plant-derived, non-animal, Halal, Kosher, and allergen-free, making it ideal for international clean-label compliance.

We utilize closed-loop, climate-controlled V-blenders and high-shear granulators with integrated humidity (<40% RH) and temperature control (<22°C). For oxygen-sensitive compounds (such as Omega fatty acids or CoQ10), we employ nitrogen-flushing protocols during both blending and encapsulation. Additionally, our R&D lab conducts compatibility testing to ensure micro-nutrients do not undergo physical agglomeration or chemical degradation prior to high-speed capsule filling.

We offer 360-degree axial and radial precision printing on cap and body shell surfaces using food-grade, pharmaceutical-compliant inks (synthetic or natural pigments like Spirulina blue, Chlorophyllin, or Caramel). Brand owners can choose custom Pantone color matching for opaque, translucent, or transparent shells, incorporating logos, brand names, or dosage markers to enhance brand identification and combat product counterfeiting.

Yes. We manufacture intrinsic enteric HPMC capsules formulated with specialized acid-resistant polymer blends (such as HPMCP or aqueous pectin-cellulose matrices). These shells withstand gastric fluid (pH 1.2) for over 120 minutes without dissolving, releasing their active payload (e.g., live probiotic CFU cultures or systemic enzymes) only when exposed to the alkaline environment of the duodenum and small intestine (pH > 6.8).

Every export shipment is supplied with a comprehensive dossier including: Batch Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Certificate of Origin (COO), GMP Compliance Certificate, Halal Certification (JAKIM accredited), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Stability Testing Summary, and Heavy Metal/Microbial Release Test Results. We also assist with product registration documentation for local health authorities, such as the US FDA, EU EFSA, and ASEAN Free Trade regulations.

Standard MOQs for custom-formulated capsules start at 100,000 units for standard size 0 or 00 shells, and 300,000 units for custom-dyed or uniquely printed shells. Pilot batches for initial market testing can be accommodated upon technical review. Production lead times typically range from 3 to 5 weeks post sample approval and raw material analytical testing clearance.

Our automated dosing disc and tamping-pin encapsulation machines execute continuous 100% dynamic weight checking. By controlling powder bulk density, particle size distribution (PSD), and flowability through standardized dry granulation or micro-encapsulation, we maintain weight variations well within strict United States Pharmacopeia (USP <905>) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) uniform dosage limits.

We provide full turnkey packaging solutions including HDPE/PET pill bottles with child-resistant (CRC) or tamper-evident closures, glass apothecary jars, thermoform Alu-Alu or PVC/PVDC blister packs, and eco-friendly recyclable standing pouches. All packaging lines feature automated inline desiccant insertion, induction foil sealing, batch coding, and cartooning.
