AXIUM PACKAGING LLC Helps IKEA Deliver Dream-Worthy Bedding with Innovative Packaging Solutions

NEW ALBANY, OH – October 26, 2023 – AXIUM PACKAGING LLC, a leading provider of custom packaging solutions, is proud to partner with IKEA, the global furniture giant, to enhance the delivery and in-store experience of their popular bedding sets. Located at 9005 Smiths Mill Rd, New Albany, OH, 43054-6650, and reachable at 773-588-5044, AXIUM has been working behind the scenes to develop packaging that's not just protective, but also customer-friendly and aligned with IKEA’s sustainability goals. Let's face it, buying a bedding set online or even in-store can be a bit of a gamble. Will it arrive looking nice? Will it be easy to carry? Will it stay neatly contained in your closet? IKEA understands these concerns, and they’ve been working with AXIUM to tackle them head-on. The Challenge: Protecting & Presenting IKEA’s Bedding IKEA bedding sets, known for their quality and affordability, come in various sizes and materials – from crisp cotton percale to cozy flannel. This diversity presented a packaging challenge. AXIUM needed to create solutions that could handle everything from a single pillowcase to a king-size duvet cover set, ensuring products arrived in pristine condition, no matter how far they traveled. Beyond protection, presentation was key. IKEA wants customers to feel good about their purchase the moment they see it. “We knew IKEA wasn't just looking for boxes,” explains a spokesperson at AXIUM PACKAGING LLC. “They wanted packaging that enhanced the customer experience, reflecting the quality and value of their bedding. That meant thinking beyond just functionality – it meant considering aesthetics, ease of use, and sustainability.” AXIUM’s Solutions: From Design to Delivery AXIUM PACKAGING LLC didn’t just deliver a box; they delivered a system. Here’s a breakdown of how they’re helping IKEA with their bedding sets: Custom-Sized Boxes: Forget wrestling with oversized boxes and tons of packing material. AXIUM designs custom boxes specifically tailored to each bedding set size. This minimizes wasted space, reduces shipping costs, and ensures a snug fit for the contents, preventing shifting during transit. This means less damage, fewer returns, and happier customers. Durable & Protective Materials: AXIUM uses high-quality corrugated cardboard, engineered for strength and durability. They've also incorporated features like reinforced corners and secure closures to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. “We've run extensive drop tests and compression tests,” explains an AXIUM engineer. “We’re confident these boxes can handle just about anything the shipping process throws at them.” Eye-Catching Graphics: AXIUM doesn’t just build boxes; they brand them. They work closely with IKEA’s marketing team to print vibrant, high-resolution graphics directly onto the boxes. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces IKEA’s brand identity. Customers can immediately recognize the quality and style they expect from IKEA. Easy-Open Design: No one likes struggling to open a box. AXIUM has incorporated easy-open features, such as perforated openings and finger grips, to make unboxing a breeze. This creates a positive first impression and adds to the overall customer experience. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference. Sustainable Packaging Options: IKEA is committed to sustainability, and so is AXIUM. They offer a range of eco-friendly packaging options, including recycled cardboard, biodegradable materials, and minimal packaging designs. This helps IKEA reduce its environmental footprint and appeal to environmentally conscious customers. “We're always looking for ways to improve our sustainability practices,” says a representative from AXIUM. “We believe it’s not just good for the planet, it’s good for business.” Bundling and Variety Packs: AXIUM has developed packaging solutions for IKEA’s increasingly popular bedding bundles and variety packs, allowing them to showcase multiple items in a visually appealing and space-efficient way. This encourages customers to purchase more and provides a convenient solution for outfitting an entire bedroom. Beyond the Box: AXIUM’s Commitment to Partnership AXIUM PACKAGING LLC isn’t just a supplier; they’re a strategic partner to IKEA. They work closely with IKEA’s design, logistics, and marketing teams to continuously improve their packaging solutions. This collaborative approach ensures that IKEA always has the packaging it needs to meet its evolving needs and deliver a best-in-class customer experience. “We’re proud to be a part of IKEA’s success,” says the AXIUM spokesperson. “We believe our packaging solutions play a vital role in protecting their products, enhancing their brand image, and delighting their customers.” What This Means for IKEA Customers Thanks to the partnership between IKEA and AXIUM PACKAGING LLC, you can expect: Better Protected Bedding: Your bedding sets will arrive in pristine condition, free from damage.
