    We need to source a small quantity of different types of empty capsules

    Is there any website resembling purecapsules.co.uk, but offers a better price? We only source a small quantity of empty capsules sometimes. They offer a wide range of options and their quality is good, but we hope that we can find some other supplier with more competitive price. Many thanks.

    Acturally, their price is alread very competitive, unless you like to sacrifice the qulitaty.

    There is always a dilemma between quality and price, and the order quantity is also a big problem. But we are just wondering if there is no UK-based professional suppliers other than purecapsules.co.uk at all. Anyone who knows the answer, please help. Thanks in advance

    You are in a difficult position as the capsule manufacturers (Used to be Parke Davis and Leiner) are usually looking for orders in the 100,000s. If you ask them nicely, they may send you samples. In the old days the wholesalers carried stocks and I have actually filled capsules in the dispensary, but over 50 years ago).

    you could try asking one of the specials companies eg quantum - they may have some stocks that they'd be willing to sell to you but more than likely they obtain their stocks from purecapsules too.

    Reminds me that we would sell the capsules to street vendors who would put a ball bearing inside, paint them, then roll them around on a tray and sell them as Mexican Jumping Beans.
