Format Follows Dosage Form: A Nutraceutical Walkthrough

Choosing a supplement pack is easier when the dosage form decides the format first, and the material second.

Tablets and capsules

Blisters in PVC or APET, sealed to aluminium lidding foil, with counts set by the shelf price point.

Softgels

Blisters with attention to seal integrity and light protection where the fill is sensitive.

Gummies and chews

Rigid film trays in APET or RPET, where the pack is part of the display rather than only protection.

Powders and granules

Sachets and stick packs in laminated film, with the barrier layer set by the formulation.
