Turnkey Solutions for Innovative Antiperspirant

Stephen Gould showcased its masterful turnkey solutions and capabilities through its development of new products by Carpe. These included full turnkey projects, as well as standalone productions related to the packaging. Through a trusted working relationship with us, Carpe is now a leading company boldly providing products that combat sweat.

The Challenge

The team at Carpe first approached us with a major problem: their prime supplier was shutting down, and they needed to move quickly; yet they were still a very small startup without the order volumes needed to earn the attention that their unique products required.

The Solution

Luckily, we are a niche company when it comes to production, a company that goes after the projects that most other companies don’t want to take on. Previous clients of ours in a similar industry have included Oars & Alps, Dr. Scholl’s, Asystem, Get Mr., and other small start-up brands. The team includes in-house experts and scientists that analyze formulations quickly and accurately.

We provided a comprehensive solution to Carpe’s problem. We not only met but exceeded the engineering and design standards of previous Carpe products. What started out as an initial order of 10,000 units turned into hundreds of thousands of runs since then.

The Result

Stephen Gould continues its partnership with Carpe—the team continues tirelessly to evolve and make the next generation of products even better. For example, we recently developed a brand-new form factor for the Underarm antiperspirant: a lotion-like tube that has an built-in applicator. It makes the product stand out from its competitors and showcases the innovation of the company, because it evolved dramatically from the typical stick form that’s ubiquitous on the shelves. This incredible partnership with us propelled Carpe from a small start-up to a rapidly growing company with national recognition.

This project has also led Stephen Gould to new opportunities to manage and develop more innovative products in partnership with companies and scientists that are pushing the boundaries of what currently exists on the market.
