Press-Fit® and XPress-Fit® Gel Capsules | Lonza

2 in 1: Combines the advantages of capsules and tablets together

Press-Fit® offers volume reduction up to 40% depending on API compared to Coni-Snap®

More than 7 available sizes

A tablet core enrobed in two high-gloss gelatin shells

Change the appearance of your product with little to no reformulation. While our traditional Press-Fit® gelcaps totally enrobe a caplet core, our XPress-Fit® technology leaves an exposed center portion of the caplet. Proprietary technology enrobes the tablet with two sleek colors to create high-impact branding. Combine the best of two dosage forms: the load of tablet with the easier swallowability of a capsule. Extend your customization with a broad range of colors and sizes.

For technical and quality specifications, please refer to our technical reference file below.
