Biodegradable Inflatable Air Cushion Film
Biodegradable inflatable air cushion film is a continuous roll of small bubble or small tube chambers that remain flat until inflated at the packing bench. The film is made from biodegradable material and forms protective cushions on demand, replacing pre-formed void fill that occupies warehouse space. Each cushion is sealed individually so a puncture does not compromise the entire pack.
- Cushions are inflated on site so void fill does not take up pallet space in your warehouse
- Individual sealed chambers mean a puncture only affects one cushion, not the whole pack
- Biodegradable film reduces end-of-life packaging waste for buyers with sustainability targets
- Small bubble or tube format fits tight spaces around irregularly shaped or fragile items
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.
Key Benefits
- Cushions are inflated on site so void fill does not take up pallet space in your warehouse
- Individual sealed chambers mean a puncture only affects one cushion, not the whole pack
- Biodegradable film reduces end-of-life packaging waste for buyers with sustainability targets
- Small bubble or tube format fits tight spaces around irregularly shaped or fragile items
- Rolls are lightweight and flat for storage, reducing freight cost compared to pre-filled packaging
- Cushions provide shock protection for high-value or sensitive goods during long-distance shipping
Where It Is Used
- Protecting electronics and circuit boards in export cartons shipped by sea or air
- Filling gaps around glassware, ceramics, and art ware in retail or museum shipping
- Securing fragile instruments and medical devices during transit
- Cushioning books, cosmetics, and handbags in e-commerce fulfilment
- Stabilizing furniture and household appliances in large cartons
- Blocking and bracing hardware and precision tools in export containers
Who It Is For
- E-commerce fulfilment centres that need lightweight, on-demand void fill
- Exporters shipping fragile goods in FCL and LCL containers who want to reduce packaging waste
- Third-party logistics warehouses that need void fill without dedicated storage space
- Manufacturers of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics requiring impact protection
- Packers handling mixed SKUs where pre-cut inserts are not cost-effective
Problems It Solves
- Pre-formed void fill takes up warehouse space that could hold saleable inventory
- Loose fill migrates in transit and leaves products unprotected on arrival
- Hand-cut foam and paper inserts vary in consistency and slow down packing lines
- Plastic packaging waste is a growing concern for buyers with environmental compliance goals
- Over-packed cartons attract dimensional freight charges on courier and air shipments
Technical Features
- Continuous roll of small bubble or small tube chambers sealed in a pre-pattern
- 20 um film thickness balances puncture resistance with material cost
- 300 m roll length allows one roll change to cover a full packing shift
- Available in multiple sizes: 200*100 mm, 200*130 mm, 200*150 mm, 200*200 mm
- Each roll weighs 2.5 kg and ships in packs of 4 rolls per carton

Film extrusion from biodegradable raw material
Chamber and channel sealing to form small bubble or small tube pattern
Slitting to the ordered size and width
Roll winding to 300 m with length verification
Seal and inflation test before carton packing
How It Is Checked
Incoming biodegradable raw material checked for purity before extrusion
Seal strength sampled during the sealing run to catch weak chambers
Sample rolls inflated and held to confirm no air loss over time
Roll length and size verified at winding
Cartons checked at container loading against the packing list
Customisation Options
- Available in multiple chamber sizes: 200*100 mm, 200*130 mm, 200*150 mm, 200*200 mm
- Roll length and web width to match your carton programme
- Chamber format selected as small bubble or small tube
- Biodegradable film grade available for buyers with packaging waste targets
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.
| Traditional air cushion film | Biodegradable version reduces end-of-life waste while maintaining similar shock protection |
|---|---|
| Loose fill chips | Cushions stay in place and do not migrate during transit |
| Paper void fill | Lighter per carton and more consistent in performance, though paper is better for plastic-free packaging |
| Cut foam inserts | No tooling or SKU-specific inserts needed, at the cost of a less precise fit for very heavy items |
How to Use It
Load the roll onto the air cushion machine and thread the film past the sealing bar
Set the machine width to match the film so chambers inflate evenly
Run a short length first and check the seals hold before starting production
Place cushions on the carton base, around the product, then top off the remaining void
Store unused rolls flat and away from direct heat to prevent deformation
