Why tablets are coated at all – a short story!

Short path, clear steps – we bring product, branding & Shopify into one system.

The art of coating has its origins in the 16th and 17th centuries:

French pastry chefs developed techniques to evenly roll sugar around almonds, fruits, or herbs. This led to the creation of the first dragées – sweet, protected, and with a longer shelf life.

This craft technique was later transferred to pharmacy.

Today, coatings for tablets are used to:

  • They are more pleasant to swallow.
  • to protect sensitive active ingredients
  • to control the release
  • To neutralize odor and taste
  • To visually enhance tablets

And just like back then with the pastry chefs, today's coating is a mixture of technology, experience and genuine craftsmanship.

Schneider Solutions and its specialized partners have years of expertise to perfectly coat each tablet.

The most important reasons for tablet coating

1

Delayed Release

Coating enables:

  • delayed resolution
  • gastro-resistant tablets
  • Protection from moisture
  • controlled release profiles

Ideal for sensitive active ingredients or complex formulations.

2

Optical finishing & coloring

A coating can:

  • Define the tablet colour
  • Create a brand identity
  • Visually differentiate products
  • Smooth the surface

Appearance is a decisive success factor for premium products.

3

Protection of active ingredients & longer shelf life

A coating protects against:

  • Moisture
  • Oxygen
  • Light
  • Abrasion during transport

This keeps the tablet more stable, safer and longer-lasting.

The coating process follows clear technical steps:

1. Tablet preparation

Cleaning, dedusting, quality inspection.

2. Applying the coating solution

The tablets are sprayed with a fine coating solution in a rotating drum.

3. Drying

Uniform drying creates smooth surfaces and a stable coating.

4. Coating inspection

Checking:

  • Uniformity
  • Thickness
  • Colour
  • Stability

Only when everything is perfect does the batch proceed to packaging or bulk delivery.

Coating requires precision, experience and expertise – and this is exactly where we specialise.
