Clinical by nature. Premium by design.

AERA Peptides came to D Merchandising as a new brand with no existing packaging system in place.

Their goal was to create a clean, premium packaging experience that could properly house their peptide products while giving the brand a polished and professional identity from launch.

We were brought in to develop the packaging collection from the ground up, beginning with a compact peptide box designed to accommodate multiple product configurations.

The final concept was a magnetic closure box constructed from approximately 2.5 mm rigid cardstock, finished with a smooth matte exterior and a custom white EVA foam insert. The internal insert system was developed to securely hold between one and four peptide vials alongside BAC water, giving AERA flexibility across different product combinations while maintaining one consistent packaging format.

The largest challenge was the timeline.

AERA was working toward a September 1 launch and needed the majority of its packaging developed, sampled, produced, and delivered within approximately one month.

Because the brand did not have an existing packaging system, this meant developing multiple pieces simultaneously while ensuring every component felt cohesive.

The peptide box also required more than simply selecting an existing package. The dimensions, foam configuration, vial spacing, materials, and overall presentation all needed to be developed around the products themselves.

At the same time, additional packaging components for shipping, presentation, and product identification had to be designed and produced within the same launch window.

Our work with AERA has continued beyond the initial launch collection.

We are currently developing additional carrying solutions for the brand, including both an insulated peptide case and a non-insulated peptide case.

These products are being engineered specifically around how peptides are stored, transported, and used, allowing the packaging system to continue evolving alongside the brand.

D Merchandising was able to take AERA from having no existing packaging to a fully developed collection ready for launch within the required timeline.

From structural packaging and custom EVA inserts to labels, mailers, cards, and pen cases, the project was developed as one complete system rather than a collection of disconnected products.

The result was a cohesive packaging identity that gave AERA a professional foundation for launch while leaving room for continued product and packaging development as the brand grows.

From no packaging to a complete custom system, developed, sampled, and produced in time for launch.
