Punch Tip Profiles for Round Tablets

The punch tip profile determines the tablet's surface curvature and affects coating, packaging, and patient experience:

The most common pharmaceutical configuration is a shallow concave round tablet in D tooling with embossed product identification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the most common round tablet size?
A: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, 8mm and 10mm round tablets are the most common. Nutraceutical tablets tend to be larger (12-15mm), while confectionery tablets vary widely (8-15mm).

Q: Can you add a break line to round tablets?
A: Yes. We manufacture round punches with single score lines (for splitting into halves) and cross score lines (for splitting into quarters). Break lines are embossed into the punch tip.

Q: What profile should I choose for coated tablets?
A: Shallow concave or standard concave profiles are recommended for film-coated tablets. The curvature helps the coating distribute evenly. Deep concave is used for thick coatings. Contact us for guidance on your specific formulation.
