Gelatin capsules are animal-derived, manufactured from bovine or porcine collagen.

They are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and have a long history of proven performance. However, they require controlled humidity conditions to maintain their stability.

Cellulose (HPMC) capsules are plant-based, free from animal-derived ingredients, and offer greater stability under varying humidity and temperature conditions. They are ideal for vegan, natural, cannabis, and moisture-sensitive formulations.

Custom-printed capsules are manufactured to order with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 1,000,000 capsules and an estimated lead time of 70 days.
