Who They Are: A Glimpse Into Skyline Events
Skyline Events is a London-based experiential marketing agency with a flair for immersive brand activations and pop-up installations. Serving some of the UK’s most well-known consumer brands, the agency is defined by tight timelines, high expectations, and attention to detail. When a last-minute client request rolled in for a high-profile skincare launch, Skyline needed to act fast. The brief? Design and deliver 150 branded product reveal boxes within four working days.
The Ticking Clock: A Tight Deadline, A Tall Order
“Usually, we have at least a couple of weeks to sort out event packaging,” explained Harleen James, Project Manager at Skyline Events. “This time, the product team insisted on branded boxes with barely any notice. Our usual printer couldn’t take the job. We needed someone who wouldn’t flinch under pressure. That’s when we called Aly Packaging.”
Skyline’s requirements were specific:
- Create a premium box for a 30ml glass dropper bottle
- Complement the event’s beige-toned, minimalist aesthetic
- Ensure the structure was display-ready and guest-friendly
- Produce and deliver within just four working days
What We Did: From Brief to Box in 96 Hours
Our advisor Alex picked up the phone the same day and walked Skyline through a rapid solution. “They didn’t have time for trial and error,” Alex recalled. “We knew exactly what would work and focused on cutting out delays.”
Here’s how we approached it:
- Suggested a tuck-top rigid box with a soft foam insert to secure the product
- Supplied a custom dieline template within hours
- Advised on textured ivory stock with soft-touch lamination for a high-end feel
- Coordinated artwork revisions with their in-house designer the same day
Our production team prioritized the project under our express workflow. All 150 units were manufactured in three days and delivered right on the fourth.
How It Landed: From Concept to Crowd Favorite
The results exceeded expectations. “Our client was floored by how polished the boxes looked,” Harleen said. “We started seeing guests taking them home as keepsakes, which we didn’t plan for. That was a great sign.”
Alex added, “Working with agencies like Skyline, we know agility is just as important as creativity. We’re built to deliver both, without compromise.”
What the Results Showed
- Production turnaround: 3 working days
- Delivery timeline met: 4 days total
- Client reorder within 30 days for a second campaign
- Product reveal boxes became the most shared event item after the product itself
