More than any other dosage form, two-piece capsules offer many unique and colorful ways to enhance the image and utility of your product.

First, a well-planned process for color selection of pharmaceutical products, as well as color selection of dietary supplement products, will yield an appealing way to visually differentiate your product, or even reinforce the product indication.

• A company or brand logo.
• A brand or product name.
• Dosage details.

An additional important benefit of capsule printing is that it can reduce the risk of medication errors.

Capsugel offers several types of capsule printing options:

• Axial-print : the printed copy appears lengthwise along the capsule, with a 42° printed surface capability.
• Opti-print : special axial print method that doubles the width of the printable area to an 84° printed surface capability.
• Radial or Spin print : the printed copy appears across the circumference of the capsule, which allows almost the whole 360° capsule surface to be imprinted.

Another option that enables further customization is to use different combinations of ink colors. Note that only edible inks are used by CAPSUGEL for printing two-piece capsules, and these inks are all manufactured using pharmaceutical grade raw materials.
