Encapsulated Powder Dosage Solutions

Powder-based capsule formulations remain one of the most widely accepted oral dosage formats in the pharmaceutical industry. Two-piece capsules are preferred because they:

  • Enable smooth and convenient medication intake compared to compressed tablets
  • Effectively conceal unpleasant tastes or odors commonly associated with active powders
  • Require minimal formulation additives, supporting cleaner label compositions

 

End-to-End Capsule Development Capabilities

From early-stage formulation design through clinical supply and commercial manufacturing, we support every phase of powder-filled capsule production. Our teams apply a range of capsule-filling methodologies—from small-batch, hands-on processes to fully automated, high-throughput systems—ensuring flexibility across development scales.

Our filling and packaging technologies are built for adaptability and accuracy, delivering consistent dose uniformity across diverse powder characteristics. Comprehensive sanitation, calibration, validation, and preventive maintenance programs are integrated into every operation to maintain strict quality standards.

 

Secure Capsule Sealing & Brand Differentiation

Two-piece capsules can be securely sealed using banding techniques, enhancing product integrity and consumer confidence. Capsule banding offers visible tamper resistance for OTC products while enabling branding options through customized band colors.

Sealing approaches include gelatin band application at the cap-body interface or hydro-alcoholic fusion sealing, both designed to maintain capsule integrity without impacting performance.

 

Key Advantages of Powder-Based Capsules

Rapid Disintegration

Capsules typically dissolve faster than tablets, supporting quicker release of the active ingredient.

Neutral Sensory Profile

Encapsulation minimizes exposure to taste and odor, improving patient compliance.

Enhanced Product Integrity

Capsules are more resistant to crushing or splitting, helping ensure correct dosing.

Optimized Bioavailability

Certain APIs demonstrate improved absorption in capsule form, increasing therapeutic effectiveness.

 

Powder-Filled Capsule Options

A long-standing pharmaceutical industry standard, capsules deliver:

  • Reliable quality aligned with regulatory expectations
  • Excellent compatibility with high-speed filling and sealing equipment

Manufactured from plant-based materials, these capsules offer:

  • Consistent pharmaceutical-grade performance
  • Full compliance with global dissolution standards
