Tablet Design – A Variety of Elements  

Tablet design has become increasingly important in the overall development of a product. It is no longer enough to take into consideration compressibility, friability, dosage size and active ingredient. Manufacturers must also consider factors such as functional requirements (swallowability, dexterity, packaging), taste or odor masking, logo or imprints, color and texture, branding and tablet identity.
 
BEST®, the Brand Enhancement System for Tablets, can aid you in designing a tablet to address these important elements.  With 45 years of industry experience, Colorcon® is aptly suited to assist you with all of your tablet design needs.
 
Supported by research of the therapeutic category and consumer color and shape preference insights, we can quickly and cost-effectively build a tablet design that is distinct, potentially trademarkable, patient centric and easily reproducible in a manufacturing situation. Beginning with our tablet shape library, we use CAD/CAM systems to develop both 3-D color accurate photo-realistic images and 3-D models.
 
The tablet modeling service further enhances your ability to assess your final design with tablet prototypes that are accurate in color, size and shape including markings such as logo or imprint.
 
Additionally, Colorcon provides ongoing support in the area of tablet formulation and design through our Tablet Design Centers located around the world.
 
Contact Colorcon, and put all the BEST advantages to work for you to create a solid pharmaceutical dosage form that is unique, potentially trademarkable and easily identifiable.
