Explore our high-demand OEM/ODM product lines available for custom formulation, private labeling, and bulk export to Indonesia.
Navigating consumer intent, climate-specific shell stability, and regulatory requirements across Southeast Asia's largest economy.
As Indonesia enforces strict Halal traceability under BPJPH guidelines, local brands demand transparent sourcing. We offer certified bovine gelatin sourced exclusively from Halal-compliant suppliers, alongside premium plant-based tapioca/pectin softgels for vegetarian and clean-label dietary compliance.
Indonesia’s high humidity and ambient temperatures pose distinct challenges for softgel degradation, clumping, and cross-linking. Our encapsulation science incorporates precise plasticizer ratios (Glycerin/Sorbitol matrix) and advanced moisture-barrier shell formulations to prevent deformation during transit and tropical storage.
Navigating Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) requirements requires flawless documentation. Bactolac Pharmaceutical provides comprehensive audit packages including Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), batch production records, quantitative ingredient breakdowns, and validated Stability Study Data.
Engineered softgel delivery systems designed to capitalize on Indonesia's fastest-growing health segments.
Indonesia's beauty-from-within market is expanding rapidly, fueled by social commerce and demand for bright, youthful skin. We formulate specialized cosmetic softgels combining Reduced Glutathione, Evening Primrose Oil, Tocotrienols, Astaxanthin, and Marine Collagen Peptides.
Softgel encapsulation protects lipid-soluble antioxidants from oxidation, ensuring full bio-activity and superior absorption compared to traditional powdered tablets.
Cardiovascular health and cognitive support remain top dietary priorities across Java, Sumatra, and Bali. We manufacture high-purity Concentrated Fish Oil Softgels (EPA/DHA 500/200, 400/300) and Krill Oil formulations.
Our nitrogen-flushed encapsulation process guarantees low TOTOX (Total Oxidation) values, eliminating fishy reflux and maintaining pristine oil freshness across extended shelf lives.
Modern consumers in Indonesia are seeking convenient, standardized versions of traditional Jamu remedies. We convert liquid botanical extracts like Curcumin/Turmeric, Ginger (Jahe Merah), Black Seed Oil (Habbatussauda), and Temulawak into standardized softgel dosages.
Liquid encapsulation stabilizes active phytocompounds while masking pungent botanical aromas, creating premium consumer-friendly SKUs.
Addressing urban health shifts, we develop targeted metabolic support formulas featuring Vitamin D3 + K2 (MK-7), High-Absorption CoQ10 (Ubiquinol), Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Black Garlic Oil.
By utilizing self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) inside softgel shells, we optimize the lipophilic bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins and coenzymes.
Understanding the chemistry, rotary-die machinery, and quality controls behind superior softgel capsule production.
Softgel capsule manufacturing at Bactolac Pharmaceutical is executed via advanced rotary die encapsulation technology operating within climate-controlled cleanrooms (maintained under strict temperature and relative humidity parameters below 20% RH).
The liquid fill material—prepared as a homogeneous solution, suspension, or emulsion—is metered with milligram precision into the cavity between two counter-rotating die rolls. Simultaneously, molten gelatin ribbons are fed over the dies. Heat and pressure seal the ribbon halves into a seamless elastic capsule shell while enclosing the precise liquid dose.
This continuous dynamic process requires strict viscosity synchronization between the gel mass and the inner liquid fill to prevent seam failure, leakage, or fill weight variation.
Cross-linking is an irreversible chemical reaction where gelatin molecules form covalent bonds, causing the shell to become insoluble and delaying disintegration. This risk is heightened when encapsulating reactive aldehydes or storing finished goods in warm, humid regions like Indonesia.
Bactolac mitigates cross-linking by incorporating specialized succinylated gelatin, organic acids, or transition-metal chelators during gel mass preparation, ensuring full gastric disintegration (under 15 minutes) throughout product shelf life.
Poorly soluble active ingredients often suffer from dismal absorption in the human gastrointestinal tract. Our formulation scientists specialize in Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SEDDS) for softgel fills.
By combining lipophilic actives with specific surfactants, co-solvents, and triglyceride oils, the softgel contents spontaneously form fine oil-in-water microemulsions upon contact with gastric fluids—dramatically increasing active absorption and therapeutic efficacy.
For acid-sensitive compounds (such as certain probiotics or enzymes) or ingredients causing gastric reflux (such as raw garlic or concentrated fish oil), we provide advanced enteric softgel solutions.
Enteric protection is achieved either through direct coat application of food-grade polymers or by integrating acid-resistant natural polymers directly into the gel ribbon matrix, ensuring zero dissolution in stomach acid and complete release in the intestine.
30+ years of American contract manufacturing expertise, unmatched facility scale, and single-source accountability.
Operating from our state-of-the-art facilities in Hauppauge, New York, Bactolac strictly adheres to US FDA 21 CFR Part 111 regulations. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control, providing Indonesian brand owners with the gold standard of American quality assurance.
Unlike contract blenders that outsource quality verification, Bactolac operates full on-site analytical and microbiological testing laboratories. We perform HPLC, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Heavy Metal screening (ICP-MS), and pathogen testing prior to lot release.
From initial R&D formulation, raw material sourcing, and pilot batching to bottle filling, blister packaging, label printing, and export logistics, we manage your product lifecycle under a unified quality management system.

Essential answers regarding regulatory documentation, manufacturing minimums, shipping, and custom formulations.
Yes. We source high-grade bovine gelatin with full Halal certification from audited suppliers. Additionally, we manufacture plant-based vegan softgels using tapioca starch and pectin. We provide full traceability documentation required by Indonesia's BPJPH (Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency) and MUI auditors.
We utilize specialized plasticizer formulations (balancing glycerin and sorbitol) engineered specifically to withstand warm and humid tropical climates. Furthermore, our drying tunnels reduce residual moisture to strict equilibrium levels, and we recommend high-barrier Alu-Alu blister packaging or sealed HDPE bottles with internal silica desiccants for sea/air freight transport.
We supply complete regulatory support documentation, including the Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), Certificate of Analysis (COA) per lot, cGMP Compliance Certificates, Master Manufacturing Records, Quantitative Formula Statements, and Allergen/GMO declarations required by Indonesian importers for BPOM product registration.
Absolutely. Our in-house R&D formulation scientists will review your target ingredients, dosages, and health claims. We evaluate active ingredient compatibility, solubility, flowability, and shelf stability before running pilot batches to ensure seamless scaling up to full production runs.
Production timelines generally range between 6 to 8 weeks following formula finalization, raw material release, and packaging design lock. Minimum order quantities depend on capsule size and fill complexity, but typical softgel production runs start at 300,000 to 500,000 capsules per run.
