SUCCESS STORY

Enhancing Little Luko's retail expansion with optimised packaging that cuts both costs and CO2 emissions.

The Challenge
Little Luko is a vertical farm that combines advanced growing technologies with natural, chemical-free practices. Initially sold online and to restaurants, its premium microgreens are now supplied to major retailers like Makro. To support this expansion, they needed retail packaging better suited to both their product and manual packing process.
Speedtrays Challenge
Speedtray Corrugated Trays
The Approach
Our expert team designed a tray optimised for both the primary pack size and production process. The compact design allows two trays to be cut from the same corrugated board, saving materials, reducing waste, and improving warehouse space efficiency. The trays are easy to separate and quick to assemble with their self-erecting base.

The Result
The solution, now called the "speed tray," can be assembled 65% faster than the previous packaging. The new corrugated tray uses 56% less material, resulting in significant cost savings for Little Luko. This material reduction, along with an optimised board composition, has saved 4.1 tonnes of CO2. The design also won an award at OBAL ROKU 2024, the Czech packaging awards.
