Description: The SUNLOCTM hard gelatin capsule shells consist of two cylindrical, telescoping pieces (cap and body), where one end of each is rounded and closed and the other open. Each piece can be transparent, partially opaque or completely opaque; if colored, of identical or different colors; and be unprinted, printed, or bear other surface markings. The cap overlaps the body and maintains a tight friction closure. The closure may be strengthened by additional means. Contact Sunil Healthcare if you have requirements for customized capsule shapes.
