As the Quantity of the capsule shells comes as in term of numbers, hence weighing is not required and it is dispensed as bag wise.

Hard gelatin capsule shell is excipient.
And as with other drug-delivery systems, careful attention should be paid to the purity and chemical reactivity of all excipients that are to be excapsulated in a gelatin shell.
