An apparatus for forming compression-molded products from powdered or granular material, such as tablets, includes a die having a cylindrical die cavity, and a pair of punches for compressing the material between opposing end faces of the punches within the die cavity. One or both of the punches is formed from a cylindrical punch body which is rigid, and a deformable tip attached to the working end of the punch body and made of an elastically deformable material such as rubber, urethane, silicone, or the like. The deformable tip facilitates release of a product from the punch.
