What is private label capsule manufacturing?

 

Capsules consist of two shells, fitted together with your formulation inside. During the manufacturing process, we dispense a batch of your formulation into one of the shells and seal it using the other. Then we perform quality assurance and testing before packaging, labeling, and shipping your product.

Benefits Of Working With A Capsule Manufacturer

There are many benefits to choosing a capsule manufacturer over other delivery forms for your supplements. Capsules allow for rapid delivery without any of the unpleasant tastes (off-putting bitterness, for instance) that some individual ingredients have. They also provide more effective absorption, delivering the same health benefits using smaller doses.

There are many other benefits of capsules:

  • Easy to swallow
  • Minimal odors
  • More accurate dosages
  • Deliver types of supplements that tablets can’t
  • Visually stunning (hard shell capsules can be customized with brand logos)
  • Lower production and R&D costs than gummies, liquids, and tablets
  • And so much more!

Types of Capsules

Gelatin Capsules use collagen (a soft protein that connects the muscles, tendons, skin, and bones of cows) to protect your formulation. They also add Glycine and Proline (two amino acids) along with protein, providing additional health benefits.

Vegetarian Capsules have a 100% vegetarian shell that works as well as any gelatin-based capsule. These come in two types:

Hypromellose/Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC): The shell contains only water and HPMC) leaving it free of animal by-products, BSE, GMO, and gelatin, gluten, and starches.

Pullulan: produced by the fermentation of sugar and starch by the fungus Aerobasidum pullulans, this water-soluble polysaccharide is similar to the HPMC capsule, except that it is 100% natural.

Colored Capsules accent neutral-colored formulations, using different colors that can trigger a positive emotional response with your product. They also help customers differentiate supplements.

Capsules Type 01

Branded Capsules can distinguish your formulation with your brand beautifully printed on the capsule.

Delayed-Release Capsules protect sensitive formulations from stomach acids for release in the small intestines. This allows for a slow and gentle release. Perfect for any formulation that may upset the stomach, causing unwanted side effects.

Liquid and Beadlet Capsules are best for formulations that need to be quickly absorbed. They come in two forms: hard shells and soft gels. For our liquid capsule services please visit our liquid filled capsules manufacturer services page

Soft gels are coated with beef-based gelatin that allows for easy digestion. This makes soft gels perfect for formulations that require rapid delivery.

Hard shells are formed from two shells with the formulation in the middle. They’re more durable than soft gels and therefore work better with formulations that need an extended-release.

How Does Capsule Manufacturing Work?

As your dedicated capsule manufacturer, we’ll manufacture your two-piece, hard-shell capsules in state of the art facilities containing high capacity automatic and semi-automatic encapsulation machines capable of producing over 10 million capsules per shift.

Our state of the art blenders (V-Blenders, Double Cone, Double Ribbon, Paddle Blenders, and more) make high capacity blending and weighing of the largest capsule runs easy. Whatever the size of your order, you can expect rapid manufacturing and delivery.

Quality assurance is our priority. We conduct an extensive product testing process in-house. With the help of our R&D and Quality Control teams, your finished product will meet all safety standards and regulations while fulfilling your customers’ needs.

Choose the Right Package for Your Capsules

The right package is about more than having something that holds your product. It’s about hinting at the future your customers will experience by choosing your formulation. Effective packaging goes a long way. It turns heads, guides your product to their cart, and leaves them feeling confident about their purchases.

It goes beyond marketing. Your label should clearly display the ingredients, dosage requirements, and how to refill. We offer a range of packaging to fit your needs:

  • PET and HDPE Bottles
  • Plastic and Glass
  • Jars, Oblongs, Packers
  • Blister Packs
  • Stick Packs
  • Sachets
  • Cartons
  • Folding displays and boxes
  • And more options to choose from…

About Capsule Manufacturing

There are various capsules sizes ranging from size “4” to “000”. In general, a “00” size capsule will hold 650 mg – 800 mg and the largest size of “000” will hold 700 mg – 900 mg of most material. The amount of material that can fit into a capsule depends on many factors, such as the density of the ingredients. Please refer to the “Solid Dose Size Chart” above.
Ingredient bulk density can greatly determine how much raw material will fit into a capsule. A single ingredient that is very dense (such as vitamin C), can fit up to 1,000 mg in one “00” capsule. For some less dense ingredients, or “fluffy” ingredients such as some botanicals, you can fit less than 700 mg per capsule. Formulations with many ingredients will have different bulk density than single ingredient products.
After the encapsulation process, formulations tend to settle, creating additional space in the capsule.
In general, capsules are easier to swallow and dissolve faster than tablets. Capsules require less excipients/fillers/binding agents. Depending on the formulation, capsules may or may not be the best choice for your product. Ask to speak with one of our Account Executives today to discuss the best delivery form for your product.
This depends on the product and your customer’s needs. Some customers have no preference between gelatin or vegetable capsules, while others specifically seek out products that do not contain gelatin and prefer vegetable-based capsules. Call and ask to speak with one of our Account Executives today to discuss the best choice for your product.
No, oils cannot be used in capsules; however, oil powders can be used in capsules. Oils are best suited for softgels or proprietary liquid capsules, subject to approval.
Natural products are more susceptible to environmental factors. This means that the final product can vary due to the climate, type of product, and region where it was grown.
We carry a wide variety of high-end stock capsule formulas. These products meet some of the highest quality standards in the industry.
We work with capsule shell manufacturers that can create custom printed capsules. The MOQ can be as low as 1,000,000 and as high as 5,000,000 based on complexity. We can then utilize those custom-made capsule shells to manufacture your product.
Capsule shell manufacturers can produce almost any color you desire.
We have access to a few different scented capsule options. There are limited scents available.
There are several ways to mask foul smelling ingredients, however some ingredients have off-putting or strong odors that cannot be avoided. Ask to speak with one of our Account Executives today to discuss the specific needs of your product.
Excipients serve numerous purposes in the manufacturing process. Some excipients ensure the capsule is completely full so the consumer does not receive a partially empty capsule. Other excipients help ingredients flow through machines, allowing for smoother manufacturing.
Magnesium stearate has been labeled as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for human consumption by the US FDA.
Excipients play a major role in preventing clumping, as well as proper storage of the product.
Certain products can be manufactured without excipients; however, there are challenges that come with producing excipient-free products. Ask to speak with one of our Account Executives regarding your specific needs.
We have semi-automatic and fully-automatic capsule filling machines.
Semi-automatic machines have a capacity of 15,000 – 25,000 per hour, while fully-automatic machines have a capacity of 40,000 – 250,000+ per hour.
Capsule shells are compressed together to ensure a tight seal, but there is no specific locking mechanism.
Yes, we have access to some delayed/sustained-release capsules. However, the global pandemic has created a shortage.
We can manufacture liquid capsules but not beadlet capsules.
Capsules require very little R&D, unless you are trying to maximize the raw materials that will fit into the capsule or use no excipients.
Bottles, jars, bags, sachets, blisters, and bulk.
Typical bottle sizes are 100cc to 500cc, depending on the number and size of capsules.
Most manufacturers will put a 2-3 year expiration date on capsule bottles. It is the brand’s responsibility to validate the expiration date through stability testing. Many brands are opting to go with a “manufactured on” date to avoid the responsibility of expiration date validation.
We do not offer custom label design in-house, however, we have a few designers we work with that we can introduce you to.

We just completed a very large Homeopathic tablet order that required involvement from 4 different facilities. There was nobody else in the country that was willing to help us that we called until we found superior. First shipment came last week and we couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the team. Thank you Justine, Phil, Stephenie you are the best!

I was choosing between two companies to create a formulation, and it came down to their level of service, expertise and confidence in their ability to execute. After speaking to Phil, their lead guy who knows all things supplements and is very easy to communicate with, was enthusiastic and helped to create a strategy to see my vision through. The last thing you want is a transactional relationship in this industry, so whether you’re a first timer or a veteran, these guys know how to add value no matter what level you’re at. Highly recommend Superior and their team to get the job done.

When they say “Superior” they aren’t kidding. Of over 100 companies on our NSF list that we called, and over 20 that we talked to, Superior was the ONLY one that consistently answered their phones, worked incredibly diligently to problem solve and R&D an incredibly complex patented proprietary product, and consistently was two or three steps ahead of us, the landscape and their competitors. Looking forward to a long relationship Superior!

We’ve been using Superior for over 5 years. We came to them because our last manufacturer stopped making the capsule size I needed. I looked everywhere for a replacement. Luckily, I found Superior. They quoted me a fair price and sourced a hard to find ingredient quickly. In the 5 years we’ve had them make our product, which is a custom formulation, they have never delivered late once. Quality control is very high and I get constant updates from Phil our point person while it is being manufactured. I cannot recommend them enough.

Our previous manufacturer was 3 months late on a production and barely spoke with us. We have run many runs with Superior and as with all manufacturing, there was an order that was a little late because of poor crop growth. Not only did they warn us ahead of time they showed us the list of suppliers they were calling day and night to try to find replacement material. Best company ever!

Jake, Justine and Phil are just a few of the team members we have had the pleasure of working with at Superior. As a marketing agency working in the supplement industry, we work with many suppliers on behalf of our clients. I especially appreciate Superior Supplements Manufacturing because of their dedication to customer relationships. They go to extreme measures to ensure quality ingredients, fair pricing and great turn around times. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this team.
