Case Study: Bespoke Packaging for Teresa Tarmey Skincare Press Event

Teresa Tarmey, “Super Facialist” and renowned skincare brand, approached us with a request for custom packaging to showcase their products at a high-profile press event. The brief was to create a presentation box that would not only reflect the luxury of their brand but also be practical for attendees to carry home at the end of the event.

The Brief

Teresa Tarmey approached us with a request to create 100 bespoke presentation boxes for a skincare press event, with a deadline set for the end of August. The client provided a detailed PDF that included exact dimensions for the box and the internal fitments required to hold their skincare products. Along with these specifications, they also sent 3D drawings of how they envisioned the final box. This clear and precise brief was incredibly helpful and with their clear vision, our task was to execute it flawlessly while bringing our own expertise to the table.

The Challenge

An essential aspect of the construction was to incorporate handles due to Teresa Tarmey’s partnership with a headscarf brand. Each box would be sent to selected press, with a headscarf elegantly wrapped around the handles. 

Another key factor was the client’s request for the black inner collar to remain visible even when the box was closed. This striking contrast between the white exterior and the black collar was a vital aesthetic feature. To achieve this, we opted for two handles instead of one, ensuring a gap would remain when the box was closed, revealing the black inner collar.

Our Approach

We produced a board dummy to demonstrate how the clamshell box would be constructed. This dummy also showcased how the handles would work, leaving a gap to reveal the black collar. The prototype was well-received and secured us the project.

Specification

The final design was a Clamshell Deluxe box with precise detailing:

  • Box Type: Clamshell - Deluxe with handles and an internal collar

  • Material: White-lined board wrapped in Colorplan Pristine White

  • Foil: Matt black foil accents in two areas

  • Inner Collar: Wibalin® Natural in black

The combination of the sleek black foil branding and the exposed black inner collar created a striking contrast against the pristine white exterior. This interplay of black and white not only added a layer of elegance but elevated the overall sophistication of the design.

Outcome

Working with Teresa Tarmey was an absolute pleasure, and their detailed and specific brief made the project seamless. The final product was delivered on time, and the boxes became a standout feature of the event. We would love to collaborate with the brand on future projects.
