The right shell for every fill

Powders, liquids, oils and even whole tablets: we match the capsule to what goes inside it and how it needs to release.

Hard gelatin

Hard gelatin

Two-piece capsules for powders, granules and pellets, in a wide range of sizes and colours.

Soft gelatin

Soft gelatin

Sealed one-piece softgels for oils, liquids and suspensions.

Tablet-in-capsule

Tablet-in-capsule

A tablet sealed inside a capsule with a second fill, so two actives release on their own profiles.

Vegetarian

Vegetarian

Plant-based shells for vegetarian and vegan consumers and for markets that prefer gelatin-free products.

Twist-off tips

Twist-off tips

Softgels with a tip that twists off, so the contents can be squeezed out and used directly.

Antibiotic capsules

Penicillin and cephalosporin capsules made in dedicated, segregated units.

The technology behind the capsule

Softgel encapsulation

Sealed shells for oil- and liquid-based fills that can't go into a hard capsule.

Combination fills

Tablets plus granules in one capsule for fixed-dose combinations with different release profiles.

Shell choice

Gelatin or plant-based shells, matched to your fill, your market and your label claims.
