Shorter first decision
Useful when the brand wants to confirm formula, shell, fill and packaging without adding proprietary tooling to the first sample round.
Capsule mold library
Capsule mold options.
Choose the capsule shape, fill weight and visual style that match the product use case: eye serum, facial serum, hair oil, cleansing oil or premium gift set.
Mold selection
Shape, fill weight and packaging need to fit together.
These are manufacturer-supplied starting ranges. Final fill weight depends on the selected mold, formula, shell and package configuration.
Eye careStarting range: 0.2g-0.35g for compact eye-care formats.
Facial serumStarting range: 0.3g-0.5g for face-care capsule routes.
Hair oilStarting range: 1g-1.5g for larger hair-oil applications.
Daily-care formatsStarting range: 0.8g-1.5g; confirm use, mold and package before sampling.
Stock or custom
Choose the mold route from the product job, not from appearance alone.
An established format can shorten an early project. A custom mold may be justified when shape, opening experience, visual differentiation or a special pack role materially affects the launch plan.
Distinctive product system
Useful when the capsule geometry is central to the product positioning, application experience or packaging structure and the additional development work is understood.
Match the intended use
Eye, face, hair and cleansing applications can need different amounts. Capacity is a starting range, not a finished specification.
Before sampling
Confirm the decisions that keep a mold choice usable.
A mold should be reviewed as part of the complete capsule system. These are the questions that make the next sample and quote more specific.
1. Product useWhere will the capsule be applied, and should one unit complete one use?
2. Formula behaviorHow do viscosity, spread, dispensing, colour and shell compatibility affect the proposed shape?
3. Package routeWill the shape fit the chosen jar, blister, pouch, carton or travel set without unnecessary handling risk?
4. Commercial planDoes the mold choice fit the expected count, channel, MOQ discussion and launch timing?
5. Approval recordCan the final sample record the mold, fill, shell, package and open questions together?
Mold FAQ
Questions to resolve before tooling or samples.
Keep the answers tied to the actual formula, shell, package and market instead of treating the mold as an isolated visual choice.
Ask about a mold routeAre the fill-weight ranges fixed?
No. They are manufacturer-supplied starting ranges. Final fill depends on the selected formula, shell, mold, production route and package.
Should a new brand start with a stock mold?
Often it is a practical first route when the goal is to validate the product system before adding custom tooling. The right answer depends on positioning, function, package and timeline.
Can one mold be used for more than one package count?
Often the same confirmed capsule can be arranged in different retail, trial or travel counts. The finished package still needs its own protection, handling and label review.

Mold selection reference
Choose a capsule mold by the project decision it needs to support.
A stock shape can simplify an early route. A custom mold may be appropriate only after the fill, shell, package and brand role are clear enough to justify it.
Stock moldUseful when the project is validating formula, application amount, channel or retail response before tooling work is necessary.
Custom moldReview after the required shape, visible design role, capacity, opening experience and packaging fit are documented in one brief.
Fill and shellAssess fill behavior and shell direction together; the visual shape alone does not prove formula compatibility or a finished product route.
Package fitConfirm whether the selected capsule works with the intended jar, blister, pouch, carton or set format before approving a production path.
MOQ and timingAsk for a project-specific review. Mold, formula, decoration and package components can each affect feasibility, sampling stages and quantity planning.
