Tablets need to be large enough to make a shed. Personally, I make and use
tablets in the 3.8cm (1.5 inch) size. Others prefer larger tablets. 

For hexagonal and octagonal tablets, make them a size that you can comfortably
handle. If you are going to use a large number of tablets, you will probably
find that smaller tablets let you grip the pack better.

I hope this helps...
