    New XPress-Fit with Rapid Release Channeling Action

    Extend your product range with new XPress-Fit gelcaps with fluid access channels for faster onset*.

    The new channel design makes rapid release even faster. Gastric fluid enters channels on exposed caplet surface, accelerating both gelcap disintegration and drug release.

    Energize Sales with a New Brand Image

    A distinctive and appealing trade dress is a vital part of building a strong brand. With Capsugel's patented Press-Fit and XPress-Fit gelcap technology, your product is certain to stand out in the aisle. By enrobing a caplet with a high-gloss gel cover, you create a new look that will energize sales.

    Turn your current tablet products into exciting new brands.
