Placed on the lining
The film rests on the moist oral mucosa and begins to disintegrate on contact, no water, no swallowing.
Technology
The science that makes medicine effortless.
ODFinity™ films are engineered to deliver an active the moment they touch the tongue. Here's how the technology works, and why it changes what a dose can be.

How the film works

From the tongue, into the system.
Scroll to follow a single dose, from a film on the oral lining to the active reaching the bloodstream.
Dissolves & releases
As it dissolves, the active is freed and diffuses down through the epithelium and papillary layer.
Into the bloodstream
It is absorbed directly across the buccal mucosa and into the blood vessels below, for a fast, effortless dose.
The explainer
A dose you don't have to swallow.
An oral disintegrating film (ODF) is an ultra-thin strip that dissolves in the mouth, carrying a precise dose of an active ingredient. No water. No swallowing a tablet. No chewing a gummy.
For the people taking it, that means medicine that's easier, faster and more pleasant. For the companies making it, a modern, differentiated format that stands apart, on the shelf and in the clinic.
The three pillars
Fast. Flavourful. Functional.
Every ODFinity™ film is engineered against three non-negotiables.
Fast
Disintegrates in seconds and releases its active without water or swallowing. Built for rapid, effortless administration.
Flavourful
Clean-label taste that masks even difficult actives, so the experience is genuinely pleasant, a real advantage for compliance.
Functional
Accurate, consistent dosing across every strip, active after active, with dependable performance.

How ODFinity™ measures up.
ODFinity™ films against the alternatives, at a glance.
| ODFinity™ ODF | Tablets & capsules | Gummies | Injectables | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administration | No water, no swallowing | Usually needs water | Requires chewing | Needs a professional |
| Onset | Rapid, direct release | Slower; needs digestion | Slower; digestion required | Immediate |
| Convenience | Portable, discreet, light | Portable but bulkier | Less portable | Low, clinical setting |
| Suitability | Ideal where swallowing is hard | Difficult for many | Easier, but still chewed | Invasive |
| Experience | Clean-label, flavourful | Neutral | Often high sugar | Uncomfortable |
ODFinity™ brings much of the speed of an injection with the ease of something that simply melts on the tongue.
Clean-label & formulation science
Clean by design, not by compromise.
ODFinity™ films are formulated clean-label: natural flavours, natural colours and non-caloric sweeteners, with a minimal excipient load. The platform also handles sensitive actives and supports advanced delivery techniques, including microencapsulation and liposomal approaches, to protect and carry actives that are otherwise difficult to formulate.

Stability, engineered
Built to stay stable, from line to last dose.
A thin film demands precise control of moisture and handling, and that control is engineered into the platform end to end. From a fully automated, climate-controlled line, to individually sealed primary packaging, to ICH-aligned stability testing, every stage preserves the integrity, dose accuracy and shelf life of the finished film.

Frequently asked questions
Most films fully disintegrate on the tongue within 30–60 seconds, releasing the dose for rapid buccal absorption, no water required.
Films dissolve on the tongue in seconds for fast, water-free dosing, with a precise, consistent amount in every strip and none of the sugar load of a gummy.
Yes. Our proprietary flavour system and taste-masking techniques hide even the most bitter or difficult actives, so the experience stays pleasant.
Dose loading is tuned per active — we routinely handle low- and high-dose molecules, and can combine multiple actives in one strip.
Films are formulated gelatin-free and vegan, sugar-free and free from common allergens. Full specification sheets are available on request.
Moisture-controlled manufacturing, individually sealed primary packaging and ICH-aligned stability testing preserve integrity from line to last dose.
Typically around 24 months in the recommended foil packaging, confirmed by stability studies for each formulation.
A wide range of natural flavours, tuned to the product and market — our flavour system can match almost any profile you need.
Yes. We develop, manufacture and package oral films end-to-end for partner brands — custom strengths, flavours and pack formats included. Talk to our team.
Yes, we produce under your brand with custom artwork, strengths, flavours and pack formats.
The same platform films vitamins, nutraceuticals and prescription molecules across many therapeutic areas. See our range.
Individually sealed foil sachets or multi-strip wallets, with cartoning and serialisation options for regulated markets.
