AXIUM PACKAGING Partners with IKEA to Revolutionize Bedding Set Delivery – Less Plastic, More Comfort!

New Albany, OH – October 26, 2023 – AXIUM PACKAGING LLC, a leading provider of innovative packaging solutions, today announced a significant partnership with global furniture giant IKEA, focused on dramatically improving the packaging for their popular bedding sets. Forget wrestling with mountains of plastic – AXIUM and IKEA are teaming up to deliver a more sustainable, customer-friendly unboxing experience. For years, IKEA has been known for its affordable and stylish home furnishings. But, let's be real, getting those comfy bedding sets home sometimes felt like a battle against layers of plastic. Consumers often complained about excessive packaging waste and the hassle of unpacking everything. AXIUM PACKAGING heard those complaints, and worked closely with IKEA to design a solution. “We’re incredibly excited to be working with IKEA on this project,” says [Insert Name & Title of AXIUM Spokesperson – if available, otherwise remove this sentence]. “IKEA is a company dedicated to quality and value, and they also share our commitment to sustainability. We were challenged to not only reduce plastic in their bedding packaging, but to also create something that looks good and makes getting your new bedding set a breeze.” So, What’s Changed? The new packaging, rolling out across select IKEA stores and online now, features a shift towards more recyclable and sustainable materials. AXIUM PACKAGING developed a custom solution that leverages high-quality, durable corrugated cardboard – a significant reduction in plastic use. “We didn't just swap plastic for cardboard,” explains [AXIUM technical person - if available]. “We really thought about the entire journey – from the IKEA warehouse to the customer’s home, and then to recycling. We needed something strong enough to protect the bedding during shipping, but also easy for customers to open and dispose of responsibly.” Here’s a breakdown of the key changes: Reduced Plastic Footprint: The new packaging uses up to 60% less plastic compared to the previous design. That’s a huge win for the environment! Durable Cardboard Construction: AXIUM’s custom-designed cardboard boxes are built to withstand the rigors of shipping, protecting your duvet covers, pillowcases, and sheets from damage. No more ripped packaging or damaged goods! Easy-Open Design: Forget struggling with stubborn plastic seals! The new packaging features strategically placed tear strips and intuitive opening mechanisms, making unboxing a quick and painless experience. Seriously, you’ll be diving into your new bedding in minutes. Space-Saving Design: The new boxes are designed to be more compact, saving space in your home and reducing shipping costs. More bedding, less clutter! Recyclable Materials: Both the cardboard boxes and any remaining plastic components are fully recyclable, making it easy for customers to do their part for the environment. Check your local recycling guidelines for details. Branding Opportunities: AXIUM worked with IKEA’s marketing team to ensure the new packaging seamlessly integrated with their existing brand aesthetic. The boxes feature clean, minimalist designs and clear product information. Beyond Bedding: A Commitment to Sustainability This partnership with IKEA is just one example of AXIUM PACKAGING’s ongoing commitment to sustainable packaging solutions. The company offers a wide range of eco-friendly packaging options, including: Recycled Content Packaging: Boxes and materials made from post-consumer recycled content. Biodegradable Packaging: Packaging materials that break down naturally over time. Compostable Packaging: Packaging materials that can be composted along with food waste. Custom Packaging Designs: Tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each client. “We believe that packaging shouldn’t just protect products – it should also protect the planet,” says [AXIUM spokesperson - if available]. “We’re constantly innovating to develop new and sustainable packaging solutions that help our clients reduce their environmental impact.” What does this mean for IKEA customers? Simply put, a better unboxing experience and a cleaner conscience. You’ll get your comfy bedding sets faster, with less hassle, and knowing that you’re contributing to a more sustainable future. “We’re thrilled to be working with AXIUM PACKAGING on this project,” says [IKEA spokesperson - if available]. “Their expertise and commitment to sustainability have been invaluable.
