US Tablet CDMO Capabilities
High-Precision Tablet Compression & Formulation Excellence
PAG Pharmatech America provides turnkey contract development and contract manufacturing (CDMO) services for dietary supplement brands worldwide. Operated under 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP standards, our Utah plant combines automated multi-station rotary presses, advanced aqueous film coating, and strict analytical batch release protocols.
Advanced Coating Systems
Clear, opaque, colored aqueous film coats, and enteric coatings designed for moisture protection, odor masking, and target gastrointestinal release profiles.
High-Speed Press Lines
Automated rotary tablet presses featuring pre-compression force controls and 100% real-time tablet weight regulation for ultra-consistent batch uniformity.
Full In-House QA / QC
In-process friability, hardness, disintegration, and thickness monitoring supported by ISO 17025 accredited analytical CoA testing for active potency.
Dietary Tablet Formats
Versatile Tablet Compression Platforms for B2B Brands
Whether scaling a complex vitamin complex or launching an innovative chewable product line, our engineering team optimizes powder blend compressibility, flowability, and disintegration characteristics.
Compressed Direct-Fill Tablets
High-density solid dosage tablets designed for maximum active payload per dose. Ideal for multivitamin formulas, botanical extracts, joint health compounds, and mineral complexes requiring compact physical size.
Flavored Chewable Tablets
Custom-flavored chewable formats utilizing natural sweetener matrix systems (xylitol, erythritol, stevia) and sensory-masking technologies for pediatric, adult daily, and digestive supplement applications.
Effervescent & Dissolvable Tablets
Precisely buffered effervescent formulations manufactured under strict humidity-controlled environments (RH <20%) ensuring fast, complete water dissolution without sediment residue for hydration and immunity SKUs.
Aqueous Film & Enteric Coated
Polymer-coated tablets providing smooth swallowability, active protection against oxidation, and controlled delayed release to prevent gastric irritation or unpleasant botanical taste notes.
Bilayer & Multi-Layer Release
Advanced dual-layer compression allowing physical separation of incompatible raw materials or combined immediate-release and sustained-release active release profiles within a single solid dosage unit.
Sublingual & Fast-Melt Formats
Rapidly disintegrating matrix tablets designed for mucosal absorption, delivering elevated bioavailability for sensitive micronutrients such as Vitamin B12, Melatonin, and specialty bio-actives.

Pharmaceutical-Grade Quality Control
cGMP Verification & Analytical Integrity
Overseas buyers choose PAG Pharmatech to eliminate regulatory risk, product recall exposure, and supply chain delays. Every production run is validated against strict USP pharmacopeial testing criteria.
In-Process Quality Checks
Continuous automated checking of tablet mass variation, thickness gauge, and compression force every 15 minutes during press runs to guarantee batch-to-batch structural integrity.
Dissolution & Friability Limits
Verifying target disintegration kinetics and ensuring friability loss remains under strict thresholds (<1.0%) to prevent tablet chipping or dusting inside consumer packaging.
Full Batch Traceability & CoA
Issuing detailed Master Manufacturing Records (MMR) and a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis covering heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury), micro panel, and active potency validation.
Execution Workflow
From Direct Formulation to Finished Product
Our structured 4-phase CDMO framework ensures your custom tablet formulation transitions seamlessly from laboratory trial to full commercial scale.
Phase 01
R&D & Blend Granulation
Formulation optimization, excipient pairing (binders, lubricants, disintegrants), wet/dry granulation, and flowability verification.
Phase 02
Pilot Press & Tooling Trial
High-speed compression trials evaluating hardness profiles, ejection force, friability rate, and target disintegration kinetics.
Phase 03
cGMP Commercial Compression
Scale production in cleanroom environments with automated coating application, induction sealing, and primary bottling or blistering.
Phase 04
Analytical Release & Export
Comprehensive analytical lab release, issuing official Certificate of Analysis (CoA), complete regulatory dossier, and direct international dispatch.

Tablet Manufacturing Frequently Asked Questions
Essential technical and regulatory information for brand owners and sourcing managers.
We offer a comprehensive selection of standard round, oval, caplet, and geometric tablet shapes. Custom punch tooling can be manufactured to deboss your brand logo, lettering, or dosage numbers directly onto the tablet face, complete with score lines for bisected dosing.
Our typical MOQ for custom tablet production starts at 5,000 packaged units (bottles or blister packs) or an equivalent bulk tablet compression batch size. This volume allows DTC brands and Amazon sellers to validate new formulas efficiently while retaining scalable volume economics.
Yes. Our in-house R&D team specializes in custom flavoring, organoleptic masking, and natural sweetener systems for chewable and effervescent tablets. We ensure high active nutrient loading without unpalatable aftertaste, backed by humidity-controlled processing for effervescent integrity.
Every finished production batch is accompanied by an official Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from ISO-accredited testing labs, Master Batch Production Records, Allergen Statements, FDA Registration alignment documents, and Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) upon request for international customs clearance.
For existing base private label tablet formulas, turnaround time is typically 8 to 10 weeks. For fully custom technical formulations requiring raw material qualification, custom tooling, and stability profiling, lead times range from 12 to 16 weeks.
