Air Column Bag for Fruit
Air column bag for fruit is a flexible, inflatable packaging solution made from co-extruded PE/PA film. It inflates on demand using a simple machine, providing targeted protection for fragile items during transport. Each column is sealed separately, so damage to one column does not compromise the entire bag. The film is recyclable and water-resistant, making it suitable for fresh produce and other sensitive goods.
- Each column is sealed separately, so a punctured column does not affect the rest of the bag’s protection
- Inflates on demand at the packing bench, eliminating the need for pre-filled void fill storage
- Saves warehouse space by storing flat and inflating only when needed
- Withstands 60 to 120 kg of pressure after inflation, suitable for heavy or fragile items
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.

Problems It Solves
- Pre-formed void fill takes up warehouse space that could hold saleable inventory
- Loose fill migrates during transit, leaving products exposed and increasing damage risk
- Manual packing with cut foam or paper is slow and inconsistent across shifts
- Over-packed cartons attract dimensional freight charges on air and courier shipments
- Fragile goods like fruit and glassware arrive damaged due to inadequate or uneven cushioning
Technical Features
- Multi-layer co-extrusion PE/PA film for stronger protection and better seal integrity
- Each air column is sealed independently to prevent total failure from a single puncture
- Inflates using a Magic Air machine with a single button press for fast, consistent operation

Materials
- PE/PA co-extrusion film with recyclable and reusable properties
- Water-resistant film suitable for fresh produce and moisture-sensitive goods
- No recycled regrind in the seal layer; material sourced as 100% pure virgin material
How It Is Made
Co-extrusion of PE and PA layers to form strong, flexible film
Chamber and column pattern formation using heat sealing
Slitting to the required web width for the final bag size
Roll winding to custom length and verification of seal integrity
Final inspection before packing and shipment
How It Is Checked
Incoming resin checked as 100% pure virgin material before extrusion
Seal strength tested during the sealing run to detect weak or incomplete seals
Sample bags inflated and tested under load to confirm 60-120 kg resistance
Roll length and web width verified at winding stage
Cartons inspected at container loading against the packing list
Customisation Options
- Custom shapes and sizes to match specific product dimensions
- Logo printing on the film roll using in-house printing equipment
- Web width and roll length tailored to your carton programme
- Film thickness and layer structure adjusted for specific load or environmental needs
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| Pre-formed foam inserts | No tooling cost, no SKU-specific inventory, and less storage space required |
|---|---|
| Paper void fill | Better moisture resistance and higher load-bearing capacity, though paper is better for plastic-free packaging |
| Traditional bubble wrap | More robust protection for heavy or irregular items, and better at preventing migration in transit |
| Moulded plastic crates | Lower material cost and lighter weight per unit, though less reusable and not suitable for all product shapes |
How to Use It
Mount the air column bag roll on the Magic Air machine and thread the film through the sealing bar
Set the machine width to match the film so columns inflate evenly and seal properly
Run a short test length and confirm all columns inflate and hold pressure before production
Place the bag around the product, inflate, and secure it in the carton to block movement
Store unused rolls flat and away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve film integrity
