Glacial Drift Limited Time SKINS

"Limited Time" items - limited availability or use?

When I got one of those Halloween daily login crates, there was an expiration date on it in the reward window. Once I redeemed that reward, the crate has this little blue “Limited Time” badge. Does one have anything to do with the other? I mean, does the badge mean that this crate must be opened and its content used only during the event or only until the expiration date/time I saw on the reward page? Or does it mean that it’s just an item that will be available for a limited time, but it won’t…
