What brands should know about private-label capsules

Capsules explained for supplement brand owners — and the six formats DAT Supply manufactures instead.

Who this article is for

Brand owners and category managers reviewing a private-label supplement project.

Brand owners researching capsules often assume any private-label manufacturer can produce any format. DAT Supply does not manufacture capsules — here is what the format is, and where DAT Supply’s own formats fit if the underlying goal is not specifically the capsule shell.

Section

What capsules are and who they suit

Capsules are a two-piece shell — usually HPMC (vegetarian) or gelatin — filled with a powder, granule or liquid blend, valued for precise dosing, a neutral taste and ease of swallowing. They suit brand owners whose brief is written specifically around that shell.

Section

The formats DAT Supply manufactures

DAT Supply's own private-label range covers five formats: gummies, powder sachets, functional jelly sticks, oral strips and pet soft chews. Personalization — flavour, colour and packaging within an existing formula — applies to these six formats, not to formats DAT Supply does not produce.

Section

If your brief needs a different format

When capsule is a hard requirement, DAT Supply is not the right manufacturer for that SKU. When the underlying goal — the active, the dose, the positioning — can work in one of DAT Supply’s own formats, browse the catalogue or start a custom project to scope it.
