Raw Materials of Size 5 Gelatin Capsules

Glycerin: USP-grade glycerin for its purity.

Water: Purified water, typically DI, RO, or bottled water.

Flavors or Actives: Non-reactive and non-volatile materials added at the end of gel mass production.

Step-by-Step Size 5 Gelatin Capsules Manufacturing Process

Melting & Color Mixing

First, raw gelatin goes into a melting tank with purified water. Once melted, the mixture is stirred until smooth, like jelly. If the capsules need to be colored, this is when colorants are added. The result? A ready-to-mold mixture that sets the base for capsule shells.

Molding & Drying

Molding pins are dipped into the jelly mixture. The coating solidifies into capsule halves—one for the body, the other for the cap. These pieces are then dried in controlled humidity and temperature environments to maintain quality and consistency.

Cutting, Joining & Inspection

Once dried, capsule shells are trimmed, pre-locked, and visually inspected.

Scratches or holes

This step is essential for measuring the quality of your capsules, especially if you’re selling to a broad customer base.

Printing & Branding

Capsule printing helps with product ID and branding. Ink printing machines or laser systems add logos, batch codes, or names. This step is important, especially for supplement brands looking to stand out in a crowded market.

Final Inspection & Packaging

Once everything checks out, capsules go through final inspections, are counted, and packaged into bottles, blister packs, or bulk containers. These are then stored in warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity.

Packaging and Shipping

Packaging	In order to protect capsules from variations in surrounding temperature and humidity, capsules are first packed in Poly-Bags, then these bags are put into tin-foil bag. Finally put into 5-ply corrugated box, lined with Styrofoam on all the six inner sides of the box.
Shipping	1. By sea transport. 2. By train transport. 3. By air transport. 4. By express,like DHL,EMS,TNT,FEDEX,UPS etc.
