Looking at the listings, some sellers provided their own pictures which show
a polybag in addition to the box. It looks like the polybag could stand on its
own without the box, even having the set number on it. I would think it's
easier to ship/distribute and save on packaging if the box wasn't included.
Why would Lego double-package it like that? Did they used to do this for all
of the small sets?

This has nothing to do with the size of the set. All or at least most town
sets from 1997-2000 had individual printed bags. It is just a special case here
that all parts are included in one bag so it looks like it could also be a polybag
set.

Had similar bags. Also approaching the Lego time of near bankruptcy. The only
waste I see is the printing though, as the parts would have been in a bag anyway.
