Empty Hard Capsules (HPMC & Gelatin)

Size 0/1/2/3 capsules, vegetarian capsule, HPMC capsule shell · CAS —

Packaging Pharmaceutical grade, USP / EP compliant CoA per lotDimensional & locking testMicrobial limits reportPrint artwork approval

Capsule shells fail in two ways: dimensional mismatch with your filling machine and moisture uptake in storage. Both are avoidable with a documented dimensional report and a humidity-controlled warehouse, and both are on our CoA.

HPMC shells suit hygroscopic and vegetarian-positioned products but behave differently on a filling machine than gelatin — we supply machine-setting parameters for the common filler brands with the first order.
