Easy Reference Guide to Finding the Right Bottle for your Capsules

With the help of our new reference charts, it will be easier for you determine which size bottle is right for your capsules. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

Step 1: Select the right size capsule for your product.

Capsule Sizing Information

Size "000" holds about 1,370 mg, size "00" holds about 950 mg, size "0" holds about 680 mg, and size “1” holds about 500 mg.


The weight depends on the density of the powder you are using. Some powders are much denser than others. It also depends on the fineness of the powder. The only way to be sure is to check the weight of each individual material. On a scale accurate to within one-tenth of a gram or even to one-tenth of an ounce or even to a gram, you can weigh 24 empty capsules and then compare with the weight when full.


If you only want a small amount of active ingredient, then you can mix with a material such as milk powder or rice powder as a filler. That way you can use "0" or "00" size capsules with various weights of active ingredients.

Step 2: Select the right size bottle for your capsules.
