Markets we print for

Supplements packaging.

Moisture control and clean labelling for powders and capsules.

What supplements packaging has to do

Supplements live or die on moisture control and on trust. Hygroscopic powders clump, actives degrade, and the label has to carry a lot of regulated information without looking like a datasheet. We print supplement packaging that manages both.

Moisture barrier

High-barrier metallised structures for hygroscopic powders and actives.

Scoop-friendly

Wide-mouth formats and resealable closures for daily dosing.

Regulated artwork

Layouts planned around nutrition panels, claims and multilingual text.

Launch quantities

Low minimums so a new SKU can be tested before you scale it.

Formats we recommend for supplements

A starting point rather than a rule. Tell us the product and the shelf life and we will confirm the structure with the quote. Numbered from 1 (most relevant) to least relevant.

Sizes we recommend

Starting dimensions for our most requested formats. Every product fills differently, so fill-test with your actual product before finalising. See all standard sizes.

Supplement powders

Based on a typical dry supplement or protein powder. These sizes allow for a zipper and practical filling headspace. Very fluffy blends may need the next size up, while dense mineral powders may fit a smaller format.

2 kg200 × 380 × 120
2.5 kg220 × 410 × 130

The 250 g–1 kg sizes are based on common pouch proportions for powders and protein products; the larger formats are indicative extensions of those proportions. 1 kg powder packs are commonly around 200 × 300–320 mm with a 90–100 mm gusset.

For 2 kg and 2.5 kg products, pay particular attention to film strength, bottom-seal width and the zipper’s ability to withstand repeated use. A heavier fill may need a thicker laminate even if the dimensions are sufficient.

Supplement capsules (stand-up pouches)

Based on pouches filled with finished capsules, including their shells, rather than loose powder. Capsule sizes 00, 0 and 1 differ in volume: nominal capacities are roughly 0.95 ml for size 00, 0.67 ml for size 0 and 0.50 ml for size 1, although exact specifications vary by manufacturer. How many capsules make up a given weight also depends on the formulation and fill density.

Important: these capsule dimensions are preliminary sizing recommendations. The size 1 sizes allow extra room for the greater number of smaller capsules needed to reach the same net weight. Run a volume and fit test with your actual capsules before ordering printed pouches.
