Triangle Shape Tablet Dies and Punches | EMMKAY INDUSTRIES

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. Our commitment to quality materials ensures durability, reliability, and longevity, making them ideal for high-volume production.

Triangle Tablet Specifications

Triangle tablets require keyed punches to maintain the correct orientation during compression.

Why Choose Triangle Shape?

Design Considerations

Corner Profiles:
- Sharp corners — most distinctive appearance but more prone to chipping during coating and packaging
- Rounded corners — reduced chipping risk while maintaining triangle identity
- Beveled corners — best compromise between appearance and durability

Recommended: Rounded or beveled corners for pharmaceutical tablets (reduces chipping). Sharp corners acceptable for uncoated confectionery tablets.

Flat vs Concave:
- Flat-faced triangle tablets are most common (better embossing, cleaner edges)
- Shallow concave is possible but less common for geometric shapes

Application:

- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Nutraceutical Industry
- Confectionery

Other Geometric Shapes Available

In addition to triangle, EMMKAY INDUSTRIES manufactures:
- Square and diamond shape tablet dies
- Pentagon and hexagon shapes
- Heart, star, and moon shapes
- Any custom geometric shape you design

All geometric shapes require keyed punches and custom die bores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are triangle tablets more expensive to produce than round?
A: 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.

Q: Can triangle tablets be film-coated?
A: Yes, but coating uniformity at the corners requires attention. Rounded or beveled corners coat more evenly than sharp corners. Discuss your coating requirements with us when ordering.
