Formats & Packaging
Alternative Formats
Explore custom formats & packaging at Canadian Phytopharmaceuticals Corp. We lead Canadian supplement companies with premium bottling, blister packs, and more.
CPC offers advanced dosage form and packaging capabilities designedto support product differentiation, consumer compliance, and scalable growth.
These formats are produced in-house and are rarely offered together by a single Canadian manufacturer, making them a primary reason brands partner with CPC.
Capsules, Tablets & Softgels
The most trusted and widely used supplement formats — all manufactured fully in-house at CPC with no outsourcing at any stage.
CPC supports custom capsule, tablet, and softgel manufacturing using both wet and dry granulation to optimize flowability, content uniformity, and compression performance across all three formats.
-
Custom capsule sizes, colors, and materials to support branding and consumer preference
-
Wet and dry granulation for challenging formulations that require extra stability
-
Standard, coated, chewable, and shaped tablet formats including pediatric options
-
Softgels for oil-based and lipid-soluble ingredients — omega-3s, fish oils, fat-soluble vitamins, and botanical oils
-
Gelatin and vegetarian softgel shell options available
-
Superior oxygen and moisture barrier in softgel format extends shelf stability
-
In-house softgel encapsulation eliminates third-party delays and quality gaps
CPC's in-house granulation reduces segregation risk and improves batch-to-batch reliability — an advantage over manufacturers relying on direct compression or outsourced production.
Why brands choose CPC:
-
Custom capsule options including different sizes, colors, and materials to support branding and consumer preference
-
Wet and dry granulation to improve stability and consistency, especially for challenging formulations
-
Multiple tablet styles including standard, coated, chewable, and shaped formats
-
Chewable alternatives for pediatric, lifestyle, and compliance-driven products
Compared to direct compression or outsourced granulation, CPC's in-house granulation reduces segregation risk and improves batch-to-batch reliability.
Liquids
iquid formulations are one of CPC's most advanced and differentiated capabilities.
Liquids are designed for:
Rapid absorption
Precise dosing
Enhanced bioavailability
Flavor-forward
Innovative product experiences
that are difficult to achieve with solid dosage forms.
CPC manages liquid formulation, stabilization, and flavor optimization fully in-house, addressing the technical challenges that often lead other manufacturers to outsource or avoid liquids altogether.
Why brands choose liquid formats:
-
Designed for rapid absorption and real bioavailability
-
Smooth, easy-to-take dosage forms that support higher compliance
-
Precise, consistent dosing in every serving
-
Ideal for products where sensory experience and fast onset matter
CPC supports a wide range of liquid delivery methods, selected based on product function, stability needs, and consumer use:
-
Tinctures and syrup bottles for traditional and therapeutic applications
-
Euro droppers to reduce spillage, limit air and light exposure, and support longer shelf stability
-
Spray formats for children's products, throat support, and bee-derived formulations
-
Liquid formulations sachets and liquid stick packs for single-serve convenience and premium positioning
-
Liposomal liquids for advanced delivery and absorption strategies
Compared to solid formats, liquids allow greater flexibility in dosing and application, but require careful control of flavor, stability, and packaging interactions.
CPC's in-house expertise ensures liquid products are manufacturable, stable, and scalable across markets.
Powders & Granules
Powder and granule formats are increasingly selected as alternatives to capsules and tablets, particularly for products requiring higher doses or complex ingredient blends.
CPC produces powders and granules designed for consistent dosing, improved taste, and flexible use across multiple delivery formats.
Why brands choose powders and granules:
-
Easier to deliver higher active doses without requiring multiple pills
-
Better suited for complex formulations that are challenging to encapsulate
-
Improved flavor and mouthfeel drive higher acceptance
-
Flexible use for consumer drink mixes, sachets, and single-serve applications
CPC supports multiple packaging options for powder and granule products, including sachets, stick packs, pouches, and bottles.
Granulation and particle control are managed in-house to support flowability, uniformity, and stability, ensuring powders perform reliably in both packaging and end use.
This format flexibility allows brands to expand product lines, improve compliance, and respond to shifting consumer preferences without changing manufacturing partners.
Single-Serve Multi-SKU Packaging
Single-serve multi-SKU packaging is a core CPC strength and a major sales driver.
This packaging style supports advanced daily regimens and improves consumer compliance.
The Single-Serve Multi-Pack allows multiple dosage forms to be combined into one daily pack.
Key capabilities:
Stick packs, sachets, pouches, multi-pack combinations, display cartoons, and travel-ready formats
Combine softgels, capsules, and tablets within a single daily pack
Support up to six different SKUs in one package
No maximum pill count per pack, allowing full flexibility in regimen design
Compared to traditional bottles or blister cards, multi-SKU packs improve adherence,
reduce consumer confusion, and enable premium product positioning.
Very few Canadian manufacturers can execute this fully in-house.
Stick Packs & Powder Sachets
Single-serve powder packaging is one of the fastest-growing formats in the natural health product market — and CPC produces it fully in-house.
Stick packs and powder sachets are ideal for brands looking to offer convenient, on-the-go dosing without compromising on active load or formula integrity. Each pack delivers a precise single serving, sealed for freshness and stability.
-
Slim stick pack format fits easily in a pocket, bag, or daily routine
-
Square and custom-shaped sachets for powders, granules, and blended formulas
-
Compatible with drink mixes, functional beverages, and direct-dose applications
-
Multi-pack options available — boxed daily strips, resealable pouches, and display cartons
-
High active load capacity without the limitations of capsule or tablet fill weight
-
Suitable for a wide range of ingredients including electrolytes, botanicals, collagen, and minerals
Stick packs and sachets can be sold as individual single-serves or assembled into multi-pack retail formats, giving brands flexibility in how they go to market — from retailer shelves to e-commerce bundles.
Liquid Sachets
Single-serve liquid sachets bring the bioavailability advantages of liquid formulation together with the convenience of single-use packaging — making them one of the most versatile formats CPC offers.
Liquid sachets are particularly well suited for oil-based and water-based actives that perform better in liquid form than in a capsule or tablet. From athletic recovery to pediatric nutrition, the format adapts to the product and the consumer.
-
Rapid absorption — liquid delivery bypasses the breakdown time required by solid formats
-
Ideal for liposomal formulations, emulsified oils, and water-soluble actives
-
Spouted pouch format is spill-proof, easy to open, and suitable for all ages including children
-
Precise single-dose fill eliminates measuring and supports consistent compliance
-
Flavor-forward formulation supported in-house — masking, sweetening, and functional taste design
-
Compatible with collagen, electrolytes, herbal concentrates, omega blends, and pediatric nutrients
Liquid sachets open up product categories that solid formats cannot reach — from post-workout recovery shots to children's daily vitamins — giving brands a meaningful point of difference on shelf.
