There are 12 stages to get tablets packaged the correct way to be shipped to merchants. Packaging lines are very complicated, interesting, and outright amazing. From there the bins are transported to a packaging area. The product is placed in large square bins which are loaded from the top, and come to a sloping basin located in the centre on the bottom of these bins. Once the raw materials are converted to convenient tablets, caplets, gel caps, etc where do they go? In this case point A is the stage when the actual product is completed (pressed, coated, and branded) and point B is to the stage where it can be shipped in bulk quantities to merchants. What's really interesting is how aspirin gets from point A to point B. Aspirin comes in forms other than tablets such as larger caplets, gel caps, and in liquid form. This is not true for all aspirin tablets as not all tablets are coated.
