Plastic Inflatable Air Bag

Plastic inflatable air bag is a continuous roll of pre-sealed chambers that inflates on demand at the packing bench. Each roll forms multiple individual cushions that can be torn by hand to fit the exact void size, eliminating over-packaging and reducing storage needs. The film is made from 100% new raw material, so the seals hold pressure through long transit without softening.

  • Inflates on demand so void fill does not occupy warehouse space
  • Cushions are torn to size by hand, matching the exact void without overfill
  • Pre-sealed chambers mean one puncture does not release all air
  • Film made from 100% new raw material ensures strong, consistent seals

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

  • Inflates on demand so void fill does not occupy warehouse space
  • Cushions are torn to size by hand, matching the exact void without overfill
  • Pre-sealed chambers mean one puncture does not release all air
  • Film made from 100% new raw material ensures strong, consistent seals
  • Lighter than foam or paper fill, reducing dimensional freight charges

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

  • Filling the void around electronics and circuit boards before shipping
  • Protecting glassware, ceramics, and art ware in export cartons
  • Securing instruments, medical devices, and precision tools during transit
  • Cushioning household appliances and furniture in large cartons
  • Stabilizing luggage, handbags, and cosmetic kits during distribution

Buyer Profile

Who It Is For

  • E-commerce fulfilment centres packing mixed SKUs into standard cartons
  • Third-party logistics warehouses needing void fill without floor space
  • Exporters shipping fragile goods in FCL and LCL containers
  • Contract packers replacing loose fill and hand-cut foam on manual lines
  • Manufacturers of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics requiring consistent protection
Problems Solved

Problems It Solves

  • Pre-formed void fill takes up pallet space that could hold saleable stock
  • Loose fill migrates in transit and leaves products unprotected
  • Hand-cut foam and paper vary in thickness and consistency between packers
  • Over-filled cartons trigger dimensional weight charges on courier and air freight
  • Inconsistent cushioning leads to product damage during long-distance shipping
Technical Detail

Technical Features

Manufacturing Process

How It Is Made

1

Film blowing from virgin PE resin

2

Chamber and channel sealing to form the pillow pattern

3

Slitting to the ordered web width

4

Roll winding to 300 m and length verification

5

Seal and inflation test before carton packing

Quality Control

How It Is Checked

1

Incoming resin checked as 100% pure virgin material before extrusion

2

Seal strength sampled during the sealing run so weak chambers are caught on the line

3

Sample rolls inflated and held to confirm the cushions do not go soft

4

Roll length and web width verified at winding

5

Cartons checked at container loading against the packing list

Customisation

Customisation Options

  • Web width and roll length to match 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
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.

Loose fill chipsCushions stay where the packer places them and do not migrate to the top of the carton in transit
Traditional bubble wrap on the rollShips flat and is inflated on site so it needs a fraction of the storage space for the same protected volume
Paper void fillLighter per carton, though paper is the better answer where the buyer needs a plastic-free pack
Cut foam insertsNo tooling and no SKU-specific inserts, at the cost of a less precise fit for very heavy items
Use Guide

How to Use It

1

Load the roll onto the air cushion machine and thread the film past the sealing bar

2

Set the machine width to match the film so the chambers inflate evenly

3

Run a short length first and check the seals hold before packing production

4

Place cushions on the carton base, around the product, then top off the remaining void

5

Store unused rolls flat and away from direct heat

Buyer Questions

Plastic Inflatable Air Bag Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for plastic inflatable air bag

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.
