Inflatable Cargo Air Bags For Containers

Inflatable cargo air bags are multi-layered dunnage bags made from kraft paper and sealed with PE and PA films. They inflate on site to fill voids in containers and trailers, preventing load shifting, collapse, and impact damage during long-haul transport. Each bag is heat sealed and features a reusable valve for multiple uses. The bags are designed to withstand up to 20 tons of load and maintain pressure at working pressures up to 0.2 bar.

  • Prevents load shifting and collapse in FCL and LCL containers during ocean and road transport
  • Reusable and recyclable, reducing packaging waste per shipment
  • Inflates on demand to fit any void size, from 100 mm to 600 mm
  • Heat sealed chambers hold pressure without leaking during long transit

Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.

Why It Works

Key Benefits

Materials

Materials

  • Kraft paper for outer layer with high tensile strength
  • PE film for outer layer to resist moisture and punctures
  • PA film for inner layer to prevent air leakage
  • Heat sealable film interface for strong, airtight chambers
  • Reusable valve made for multiple inflation cycles
Manufacturing Process

How It Is Made

1

Kraft paper and film layers laminated under controlled tension

2

Chambers formed and heat sealed using precision sealing bars

3

Valve integrated and tested for air retention

4

Final inspection of seal integrity and valve function

5

Bag deflated and packed flat for shipping

Quality Control

How It Is Checked

1

Incoming kraft paper checked for strength and uniformity before lamination

2

Seal strength tested on sample bags to ensure no air leakage

3

Valve tested for multiple inflation and deflation cycles

4

Final bag pressure tested to confirm no loss at 0.2 bar

5

Cartons inspected at container loading against packing list

Customisation

Customisation Options

  • Custom sizes available to match specific void dimensions
  • Color options: brown or white kraft paper
  • Logo printing on the bag surface on request
  • Valve type can be adjusted for specific inflation tools
Comparison

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.

Wooden blocksLighter weight, reusable, and easier to store and handle
Foam insertsReusable, recyclable, and more adaptable to irregular voids
Paper dunnage bagsHigher puncture resistance and better air retention due to PA film layer
Plastic air bagsMore sustainable with kraft paper outer layer, though less flexible in shape
Use Guide

How to Use It

1

Place the deflated bag in the void space between cargo or against the container wall

2

Attach the inflation tool to the valve and inflate to the recommended pressure

3

Check that the bag fills the space evenly and does not bulge or over-inflate

4

Use multiple bags to stabilize large or heavy loads across different zones

5

Deflate and store flat after use for reuse in future shipments
