Capsule manufacturing, answered.
What's the lowest MOQ for capsule manufacturing in the EU?
From 1,000–3,000 units per SKU with low-MOQ specialists in Jake's network, vs the 5,000–10,000 industry standard. Lead time is 3–6 weeks for stock formulations, 8–14 weeks for custom.
Veggie (HPMC) or gelatin capsules?
HPMC = vegan, plant-based, slightly higher cost, broader appeal for premium and clean-label positioning. Gelatin = lower cost, faster dissolution, not vegan. EU CMOs offer both with no MOQ penalty for HPMC at most facilities.
What sizes are available?
Standard sizes 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are stocked at every CMO. Size 0 is the most common for adult daily multivitamins. Liquid-filled HPMC and DR (delayed-release/enteric) capsules are available at most facilities at slightly higher cost.
Can I get my capsules in bottles, blisters, or sachets?
Yes. Bottles (HDPE or glass), blister packs (PVC/Al), stick sachets, and pouches are all standard EU CMO offerings. Bottling is fastest and cheapest at low volumes. Blisters are preferred for pharmacy channels.
How are capsule formulations priced?
Indicative EU costs in Jake's network: vitamin/mineral capsules €0.05–0.20/unit at 5,000 MOQ; premium botanical extract capsules €0.20–0.60/unit; probiotic capsules €0.15–0.40/unit. Add €0.30–1.50/unit for printed bottle and label depending on run size.
