Maximize Your Brand’s Performance

Use Press-Fit and XPress-Fit gelcaps to create a new look for your product, helping it stand out to consumers and increase sales.

Our proprietary Press-Fit and XPress-Fit Gelcap technology comes with distinctive benefits:

• Easy-to-swallow
• Masks taste and odor
• Improves and differentiates your brand image with custom color options

• Flexible in-house and outsourced production capabilities

• Outstanding quality – manufactured in accordance with cGMP guidelines
• Certified quality assurance system for traceability of raw materials

In addition, XPress-Fit gelcaps can be manufactured with a unique fluid access channel for faster onset – a rapid-release feature exclusive to XPress-Fit gelcaps. Gastric fluid enters channels on the exposed caplet surface, accelerating drug release.

Flexibility Abounds

Unlike competing gel-enrobing technologies, Press-Fit and XPress-Fit gelcaps can easily be manufactured in-house with minimal investment. Capsugel has collaborated with IMA, a leading manufacturer of capsule filling machines, to develop a specialized machine for filling Press-Fit and XPress-Fit gelcaps of all sizes.

For companies that prefer to outsource manufacturing, the Press-Fit or XPress-Fit gelcap production technology is available from several leading contract manufacturers.
