The Case for Capsules

Why brands choose the capsules format

01

Consumer preference

Capsules are easier to swallow than tablets for many consumers. Soft gel capsules are especially popular for oil-based supplements.

02

Dosage precision

Capsule filling delivers accurate, consistent doses. Each capsule is individually filled and verified by weight.

03

Taste masking

Capsule shells mask unpleasant tastes and odours. This matters for ingredients like fish oil, turmeric and certain B vitamins.

04

Vegan is now expected

HPMC vegan capsules have gone from niche to mainstream across Irish and European retail. Brands without a vegan option are leaving buyers on the table.

Private label capsule manufacturing

Pick from our existing capsule range, hard gelatin, soft gelatin or vegan HPMC, and bring it to market under your own brand. Six to eight weeks from brief to finished product.

Custom capsule development

Build a bespoke capsule with our formulation team. Ingredient sourcing, compatibility testing, shell selection and stability studies are all part of the development. Twelve to sixteen weeks to first commercial batch.

Common Questions

Capsule Manufacturing FAQs
