Who are 111SKIN?
111SKIN is a London-based luxury skincare house founded by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides. Synonymous with clinical efficacy and minimalist design, their signature glass ampoules deliver lab-grade active ingredients to a discerning global clientele. Each launch—whether a hyaluronic acid serum or a vitamin-rich mask—is an event, demanding packaging that reflects the brand’s scientific precision and aesthetic purity.
Each launch—whether a hyaluronic acid serum or a vitamin-rich mask—is an event, demanding packaging that reflects the brand’s scientific precision and aesthetic purity.
With a major trade show just six weeks away, 111SKIN faced a classic packaging dilemma. They needed a solution that would protect each fragile 15 ml ampoule through multiple legs of international shipping while visually reinforcing their high-tech, pharmaceutical-chic image. At the same time, the packaging had to be entirely plastic-free to meet the brand’s strict sustainability goals, all delivered on an accelerated timetable.
What We Did:
Our team designed a two-piece rigid box with precision die-cut partitions and a soft-foam lining to cradle every ampoule securely. We wrapped the exterior in a velvet-soft matte lamination, accentuated by selective silver foil stamping on logos and batch codes to mirror 111SKIN’s luxurious aesthetic.
Every component was produced on FSC®-certified, 100 % recycled board and printed with zero-VOC, water-based inks to eliminate plastic entirely. By leveraging our free 3D proof service and collaborating daily with 111SKIN’s creative team, we refined color and texture in real time. Using our instant quoting tool and a 500 pc minimum order, we turned physical prototypes around within 48 hours for in-house testing and quality checks—including drop-test simulations and humidity trials—to guarantee zero ampoule breakage.
Finally, our EU-based production lines completed the full 5 000-unit run in just six business days, twenty percent faster than standard lead times.
The Result:
111SKIN achieved a flawless, on-time launch with zero breakage incidents and packaging that looked every bit as advanced as the formulas inside. Delivering the boxes a full week ahead of schedule gave their team extra time for trade-show setup, while the shift to plastic-free inserts and the avoidance of tooling fees generated an eighteen percent cost saving versus their previous supplier. Post-launch, unboxing videos on social media spiked engagement by twenty-two percent, and the fully recyclable solution diverted over two tons of plastic from landfills — reinforcing 111SKIN’s leadership in both luxury and sustainability.
111SKIN Says:
“PackLion didn’t just meet our brief—they exceeded it. From protective engineering to pristine finishes and genuine eco-credentials, they delivered an exceptional package faster than we thought possible.”
