NatGeo Ultimate Factories - IKEA - MSK Multitech couch shrink pack

MSK's Multitech is used by IKEA to provide their famous flat-pack design to their Ektorp sofas and chairs. National Geographic's Ultimate Factories explored an IKEA factory in November 2009 which shows how the Multitech is used by IKEA. This MSK shrink wrap / shrink hood system replaces traditional horizontal shrink bags and tunnel systems. It allows for less rolls on the floor (because the machine automatically adjust for varying load heights = varying couch lengths).
