Lee, a co-worker in one of our Californian stores, came up with a way to improve the packaging of ALÄNG table lamps. Lee discovered that the box could be shrunk as much as 30 percent if only the lamps components were rearranged. So, Lee tipped off IKEA packaging technicians in Sweden who in turn conferred with suppliers. Now, thanks to a great initiative and teamwork, each pallet of product holds 24 ALÄNG lamps compared to only 18 before.
Our products are transported in flat-packs so we get more items in each load. This results in fewer journeys which equates to less fuel consumption and fewer emissions.
