FAQ: Large-Format Capsule Technology
Q: How does Size 00 compare to vegetable alternatives for moisture-sensitive drugs?
A: While HPMC Empty Vegetarian Capsules offer advantages for extremely hygroscopic compounds, gelatin demonstrates superior performance for 92% of small molecules due to its crystalline structure.
Q: What's the minimum order quantity for custom printed capsules?
A: Most manufacturers require 500,000 unit minimums for custom jobs, with 2-3 week lead times for standard colors.
Q: Can enteric-coated versions withstand extended gastric exposure?
A: Advanced Enteric Coating Vegetable Empty Capsule formulations maintain integrity for 2+ hours at pH 1.2 with <5% premature release.
Q: Are there vegetarian alternatives with equivalent capacity?
A: Size 00 Empty Pills Capsules Vegan now achieve 95% of gelatin's payload capacity through modified polymer blends.
Q: What certifications should manufacturers provide?
A: Essential certifications include USP/NP/EP compliance, ISO 15378, and for Halal Empty Gelatin Capsules, JAKIM or MUIS approval.
