Fill Air Film for Protective Packaging
Fill air film is a continuous roll of small tube or small bubble air cushion film that is inflated on demand at the packing bench. Once inflated, it forms a flexible, shock-absorbing barrier that conforms to the shape of the product and the void in the carton. The film is made from 100% new raw material, so seals hold pressure through long transit without softening. One 300 m roll replaces multiple pallets of pre-formed void fill, reducing warehouse space and packing line complexity.
- Inflated cushions are formed on demand so void fill does not occupy warehouse space
- Small tube design allows hand-tearing to custom lengths for irregular voids
- Film made from 100% new raw material ensures strong seals and pressure retention
- Cushions absorb shock and protect against impact during transit
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.
Key Benefits
- Inflated cushions are formed on demand so void fill does not occupy warehouse space
- Small tube design allows hand-tearing to custom lengths for irregular voids
- Film made from 100% new raw material ensures strong seals and pressure retention
- Cushions absorb shock and protect against impact during transit
- Lighter than foam or paper void fill, reducing volumetric freight charges
- One roll covers multiple carton sizes and product types without tooling
Where It Is Used
- Filling irregular voids around electronics and circuit boards in export cartons
- Protecting glassware, ceramics, and art ware during long-distance shipping
- Securing handbags, luggage, and cosmetic containers in e-commerce fulfilment
- Cushioning household electrical appliances and furniture in LCL and FCL shipments
- Padding precise instruments and hardware kits in stacked cartons
- Creating custom-sized void fill for books, medicine, and liquid products
Who It Is For
- E-commerce fulfilment centres with mixed SKUs and variable carton sizes
- Third-party logistics warehouses needing void fill without dedicated storage
- Exporters shipping fragile goods in FCL and LCL containers
- Contract packers replacing hand-cut foam and loose fill on manual lines
- Manufacturers of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics requiring consistent protection
Problems It Solves
- Pre-formed void fill blocks warehouse space and reduces storage capacity
- Loose fill migrates during transit and leaves products exposed at the top of the carton
- Hand-cut foam and paper inserts vary in quality and consistency between packers
- Over-filled cartons trigger dimensional weight charges on courier and air freight
- Lack of on-demand cushioning leads to over-packaging or under-protection
Technical Features
- Continuous roll of small tube or small bubble air cushion film, inflated on site
- 20 um film thickness balances puncture resistance with material cost
- 300 m roll length supports a full packing shift without changeover
- Available in 400*150 mm size with hand-tearable chambers for custom fit
- Inflated cushions hold pressure for three to six months without leaking
- Two rolls per carton for efficient export packing and container loading

Seal and inflation test before carton packing
How It Is Checked
Incoming resin checked as 100% pure virgin material 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 web width verified at winding
Cartons checked at container loading against the packing list
Customisation Options
- Web width and roll length to match your carton programme
- Chamber format selected as small tube, small bubble, or quilt
- Printed film with your logo on the roll

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.
| Loose fill chips | Cushions stay in place and do not migrate to the top of the carton during transit |
|---|---|
| Traditional bubble wrap on the roll | Ships flat and is inflated on site, using less storage space than pre-formed bubble wrap |
| Paper void fill | Lighter per carton and more durable, though paper is better for plastic-free packaging |
| Cut foam inserts | No tooling or SKU-specific inserts needed, but 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
Tear the inflated cushion to the required length and place it in the carton void
Use cushions to block, brace, and pad products from all sides before sealing

Fill Air Film for Protective Packaging Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for fill air film
Order quantity depends on width and film grade. Send us the widths and monthly volume you need on WhatsApp and we will confirm the minimum for that specification.
Which machine do I need to inflate this film
Any air cushion machine matched to the film width. AWPACK-004 handles film up to 600 mm at 10 m per minute, and AWPACK-005 handles film up to 800 mm at 28 m per minute.
How long do the inflated cushions hold their air
Cushions made from this film hold pressure for three to six months, which covers ocean transit and warehouse dwell before final delivery.
Can you print our logo on the film
Yes. We print on our own film printing line, so logo film can run in the same order as plain film. Send artwork and the width you need.
Is a biodegradable version available
Yes, we supply a biodegradable air cushion film in the same roll formats for buyers with packaging waste targets.
