Hard capsules are two-piece shells consisting of a body and cap. They are commonly filled with powders, granules or compatible ingredient blends and are taken according to the labelled serving instructions.
Hard capsules have a separate body and cap and are commonly used for dry formulations. Soft capsules have a one-piece sealed shell and are commonly used for oils, liquids and compatible suspensions. The appropriate format depends on the ingredients and product requirements.
OEM hard capsule manufacturing generally involves producing a supplement according to a brand’s agreed formulation or specifications. ODM manufacturing includes support with developing the product concept and formulation. The scope is agreed for each project.
Customisation may include active ingredients, capsule size, shell material, colour and packaging. Available options depend on formulation compatibility, manufacturing feasibility and order requirements.
Plant-based shell options, such as suitable HPMC capsules, may be considered as alternatives to gelatin. Availability and compatibility should be confirmed for each project. A vegetarian or vegan claim also requires assessment of the complete formulation and processing requirements.
Fill capacity depends on capsule size and the density and characteristics of the formulation. The required ingredient quantity may fit into one capsule or need to be divided across multiple capsules per serving.
Multiple ingredients can be considered within a single formulation. Feasibility depends on compatibility, dosage, stability and available capsule capacity. Our team can assess your proposed blend during development.
The minimum order quantity depends on the formulation, capsule specifications and packaging requirements. Contact Harmony Pharma Lab with your project brief to request the applicable quantity and quotation.
Lead times depend on formulation complexity, sampling, ingredient availability, testing, packaging and production scheduling. Our team can discuss an estimated timeline after reviewing your requirements.
