Frequently asked questions

Which capsule materials do you supply?
We supply four capsule types: bovine gelatine, vegetable HPMC, natural pullulan and acid-resistant HPMC. Standard types are held in stock.
Which capsule sizes are available?
Gelatine capsules run from size 000 down to 5, including elongated and tamper-evident variants. HPMC and pullulan capsules are available in sizes 000–1, and acid-resistant HPMC in sizes 00–1.
Are your capsules vegan?
Vegetable HPMC, natural pullulan and acid-resistant HPMC capsules are 100 % plant-based and suitable for vegan, vegetarian, halal and kosher products. Bovine gelatine capsules are animal-derived but suitable for halal and kosher lines.
Do you supply TiO2-free capsules?
Yes. Transparent and naturally coloured variants are available across the range, and pullulan capsules in particular are a popular TiO2-free choice following the EU ban on titanium dioxide.
Can I get custom colours or printing?
Yes. Custom colours are available on request, and gelatine capsules can be printed horizontally or vertically with natural food-grade inks. Minimum order quantities apply.
Do you sell capsules on their own, or only as part of projects?
Both. You can buy empty capsules from stock as a standalone supply, or let us deliver them as part of a turnkey or private-label project where we also formulate, source and pack your finished product.
Which capsule is right for probiotics or enzymes?
Acid-resistant HPMC capsules. Their acid resistance is built into the shell, so they pass through the stomach intact and release in the intestine — no enteric coating step is needed.
