Inflatable Air Pillow
Inflatable air pillow is a continuous roll of pre-sealed chambers that remain flat until inflated at the packing bench. One 300 m roll replaces multiple pallets of pre-formed void fill because 99% of the cushion is air added on site. The film is extruded from 100% new raw material, so seals hold pressure through long ocean transit instead of softening in the carton.
- One 300 m roll inflates on demand so void fill no longer occupies warehouse space
- Pre-sealed chambers mean a punctured pillow loses only one chamber, not the entire pack
- Film made from 100% new raw material seals cleanly and holds pressure through long transit
- Cushions are formed at the packing bench so carton fill is matched to the actual void
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.
Key Benefits
- One 300 m roll inflates on demand so void fill no longer occupies warehouse space
- Pre-sealed chambers mean a punctured pillow loses only one chamber, not the entire pack
- Film made from 100% new raw material seals cleanly and holds pressure through long transit
- Cushions are formed at the packing bench so carton fill is matched to the actual void
- Lower packed weight than moulded or paper void fill cuts volumetric freight on air and courier shipments
- Available in multiple sizes to fit small parcels and large cartons
Where It Is Used
- Filling the void around boxed electronics before courier collection
- Blocking and bracing bottled or jarred goods inside export cartons
- Protecting spare parts and hardware kits shipped in oversized cartons
- Cushioning cosmetics and glass containers in e-commerce fulfilment
- Layer padding between stacked ceramic or homeware items
Who It Is For
- E-commerce fulfilment centres packing mixed SKUs into standard carton sizes
- Third-party logistics warehouses that need void fill without dedicating floor space to it
- Exporters shipping fragile goods in FCL and LCL containers
- Contract packers replacing loose fill and cut foam on manual packing lines
Problems It Solves
- Pre-formed void fill eats warehouse space that could hold saleable stock
- Loose fill migrates in transit and leaves the product unprotected on arrival
- Hand-cut foam and crumpled paper slow the packing bench and vary between packers
- Over-filled cartons attract dimensional weight charges on courier and air freight
Technical Features
- Continuous roll of pre-sealed chambers inflated and heat sealed on an air cushion machine
- 20 um film gauge balances puncture resistance against material cost per cushion
- Each roll runs 300 m so a single roll change covers a full packing shift
- Available in multiple chamber sizes: 200*100 mm, 200*130 mm, 200*150 mm, 200*200 mm
- Rolls ship four per carton at 2.5 kg each, which lets you calculate container loading before you order

Materials
- PE film extruded from 100% new raw material with no recycled regrind in the seal layer
- Biodegradable film available for buyers with packaging waste targets
How It Is Made
Film blowing from virgin PE resin
Chamber and channel sealing to form the pillow pattern
Slitting to the ordered web width
Roll winding to 300 m and length verification
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 so weak chambers are caught on the line
Sample rolls inflated and held to confirm the cushions do not go soft
Roll length and web width verified at winding
Cartons checked at container loading against the packing list
Customisation Options
- Chamber size and roll length to your carton programme
- Chamber format selected as air pillow, bubble, quilt or small tube
- Printed film with your logo on the roll
- Biodegradable film grade on request
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 where the packer puts them and do not migrate to the top of the carton in transit |
|---|---|
| Traditional bubble wrap on the roll | Ships flat and is inflated on site so it needs a fraction of the storage space for the same protected volume |
| Paper void fill | Lighter per carton, though paper is the better answer where the buyer needs a plastic-free pack |
| Cut foam inserts | No tooling and no SKU-specific inserts, 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 the chambers inflate evenly
Run a short length first and check the seals hold before packing 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

Inflatable Air Pillow Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for inflatable air pillow film
Order quantity depends on size and film grade. Send us the dimensions 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.
