Use foil for your pharma packaging

Purchase your own pharmaceutical packaging equipment

Some businesses contract out the filling of their prescription drugs while others use equipment to fill their own capsules or make their own tablets. You can purchase or lease the equipment to make your own pills under the supervision and regulation of federally regulated entities.
Try: Use the capsule fillers from MG America. Check out the products and equipment from Qualicaps. They offer a wide variety of capsule types as well as filling and sealing equipment.

 

• If you opt to take your supplies to a contract packaging pharmaceutical company, make sure that your proprietary formulas and materials are protected and that confidentiality agreements are signed ahead of time.
