Packaging guides and technical notes
Written for people specifying packaging rather than buying it: what to measure, what each option costs, where each material stops working, and the mistakes that lead to a reprint.
Every article is written by the Peptides Boxes editorial team from production experience. None of it is medical, dosing or treatment guidance, and none of it should be read as such.

How to Design a Multi-Vial Kit Box
A kit box has to work full, half empty, and in the hands of someone who has never seen it before. Those are three different design problems.

Reading is no substitute for a sample
If a guide has answered your question but you still want to see the fit, send us a vial. We will cut a cavity, seat it and post it back.
