8 September 2020 Tablets & Capsules O Todd D. Martin Wilson Tool International Minitablets and microtip tooling tableting This article discusses minitablet manufacturing and microtip tooling, including how formulation characteristics and tablet design affect minitablet production; critical tablet press set- tings and options; and how to determine the proper tablet press overload settings. rally administered tablets are a popular pharmaceu- tical dosage form because they provide consistent dos- ing, ease of administration, low manufacturing costs, and long stability times. In recent years, minitablets have become an increasing portion of the tablet market. While the exact definition of "mini" can vary, I include in the category any round tablet with a diameter smaller than 4.76 millimeters or any shaped tablet with a width smaller than 4 millimeters.
