How Encapsulated Products Are Made: From Premium Raw Material Selection to Sustainable Packaging
The dietary supplement industry continues to evolve rapidly, with consumers demanding more transparency, higher quality, and sustainability in the products they choose. At the heart of this innovation lies encapsulated products — one of the most popular and efficient delivery formats for both human and pet supplements.
Whether you’re creating Omega-3 softgels, herbal capsules, or multivitamin blends, understanding the end-to-end process of how encapsulated products are made can give your brand a critical edge in both quality and compliance.
In this guide, we walk through the complete journey of encapsulated supplement manufacturing — starting with premium raw material selection, moving through an advanced encapsulation process, and finishing with sustainable and efficient packaging solutions.

Step 1: Premium Raw Material Selection
Everything starts with the quality of the ingredients. Whether your formula includes fish oil, plant-based nutrients, botanicals, or minerals, the effectiveness of your finished product depends heavily on premium raw material selection.
At Icelandirect, we:
-
Source human- and pet-grade ingredients from trusted global suppliers
-
Conduct in-house and third-party testing for purity, potency, and contaminants
-
Ensure full traceability from source to shelf
-
Prioritize sustainably harvested marine oils, organic botanicals, and clean-label formulations
This commitment to raw material quality lays a strong foundation for encapsulated products that are safe, effective, and market-ready.
Step 2: The Advanced Encapsulation Process
Once raw materials pass quality checks, they’re ready for encapsulation. This is where science and precision come together. Our advanced encapsulation process ensures consistency, stability, and optimal bioavailability.
We offer multiple capsule formats:
-
Softgels (ideal for oils and fat-soluble nutrients like Omega-3s)
-
Hard capsules (gelatin or vegetarian-based for dry powders and blends)
-
Enteric-coated capsules (for targeted release in the digestive tract)
-
Two-piece capsules for custom-blended powders
Our encapsulation lines are:
-
GMP- and NSF-certified
-
Equipped with automated systems for high-volume runs
-
Engineered for low-oxygen, low-heat environments to protect sensitive actives
-
Flexible for both custom formulations and popular stock formulas
Whether you’re developing a new supplement line or scaling up production, Icelandirect delivers precision with every batch.
Step 3: Sustainable & Efficient Packaging Solutions
Packaging does more than protect the product — it’s a core part of your brand’s identity and environmental footprint. We take a modern, eco-conscious approach to packaging by offering sustainable and efficient packaging solutions that balance functionality with responsibility.
Options include:
-
Recyclable bottles and jars (PET, glass, HDPE)
-
Compostable pouches and eco-friendly labeling
-
BPA-free materials that meet consumer safety expectations
-
Tamper-evident seals and moisture-resistant closures
