Triangle-shaped tablets are a distinctive geometric shape used for brand differentiation, anti-counterfeiting, and product identification. While less common than round or capsule shapes, triangle tablets are increasingly popular in nutraceutical, confectionery, and branded pharmaceutical products where a unique appearance adds value.
EMMKAY INDUSTRIES manufactures triangle shape tablet dies and punches with precision-ground edges and consistent geometry. Since 1983, we have produced custom geometric tooling for manufacturers across India.

Corner Profile Options
Sharp Corners

Rounded Corners
Reduced chipping risk while maintaining triangle identity. Recommended for pharmaceutical tablets.
Beveled Corners
Best compromise between appearance and durability. Ideal for film-coated tablets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are triangle tablets more expensive to produce than round?
Triangle tooling costs more than round tooling because it requires keyed punches and custom die bores. However, the per-tablet production cost difference is minimal once the tooling is purchased. The brand differentiation value often justifies the higher tooling investment. See our how to choose tooling guide for a full cost breakdown.
Can triangle tablets be film-coated?
Yes, but coating uniformity at the corners requires attention. Rounded or beveled corners coat more evenly than sharp corners. Read our punch coatings guide for coating options, and discuss your coating requirements with us when ordering.
What other geometric shapes are available?
In addition to triangle, we manufacture square, diamond, pentagon, hexagon, star, and moon shapes. Any custom geometric shape is also available. See our sample CAD drawings for reference profiles.
