ACG Capsules, a global leader in capsule manufacturing, has announced the launch of the world’s first fully vegan printed capsules, marking a groundbreaking advancement in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Made from plant-based polymers such as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), these innovative capsules set new ethical and sustainability benchmarks in the market.

Certified by Vegan Action and The Vegetarian Society, ACG’s vegan printed capsules ensure that every component—from the capsule shell to the printing ink—meets the highest vegan standards. This innovation aligns with the growing consumer demand for transparency, sustainability, and cruelty-free options in both medications and dietary supplements.

“At ACG, we are committed to delivering innovations that align with ethical and sustainability principles,” said Dr. Subhashis Chakraborty, Head of Global Product Management, ACG Capsules. “Our vegan printed capsules empower brands to meet the rising demand for animal-free, eco-conscious solutions, fostering greater transparency and trust among consumers. As the first company to introduce vegan printed capsules, ACG is setting a new benchmark for innovation, reinforcing its commitment to consumer well-being and sustainable progress in healthcare.”

ACG’s vegan printed capsules are available in three ink color options—green, black, and brown—that can be applied across the entire HPMC capsule portfolio. This customization allows brands to personalize their messaging while maintaining ethical and sustainable product integrity.
