Protective Packaging Air Bag
Protective packaging air bag is a continuous roll of small sealed chambers that inflate on demand at the packing bench. Each chamber is a pre-formed air pillow made from air cushion film, designed to fill irregular voids in cartons without occupying storage space. The film is extruded from 100% new raw material, ensuring strong seals that hold pressure during long transit. One roll replaces multiple pallets of pre-formed void fill and can be torn by hand to match the exact space needed.
- One 300 m roll replaces several pallets of pre-formed void fill, freeing warehouse space for saleable stock
- Chambers are sealed individually so a puncture only affects one pillow, not the entire pack
- Film made from 100% new raw material ensures clean seals and pressure retention through long transit
- Inflated on site so cushion size matches the actual void, reducing over-packaging and freight costs
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 replaces several pallets of pre-formed void fill, freeing warehouse space for saleable stock
- Chambers are sealed individually so a puncture only affects one pillow, not the entire pack
- Film made from 100% new raw material ensures clean seals and pressure retention through long transit
- Inflated on site so cushion size matches the actual void, reducing over-packaging and freight costs
- Lighter than moulded foam or paper void fill, which lowers volumetric freight charges on air and courier shipments
- Tearable by hand to custom lengths, allowing precise fit for irregularly shaped or mixed packages
Where It Is Used
- Filling the void around electronics and circuit boards before courier shipment
- Protecting glassware, ceramics, and art ware in export cartons during ocean transit
- Securing loose items inside luggage and handbags during transport
- Cushioning liquid containers and bottles to prevent movement and breakage
- Stabilizing furniture and household appliances in oversized cartons
- Protecting precision instruments and medical devices during long-distance shipping
Who It Is For
- E-commerce fulfilment centres packing mixed SKUs into standard cartons
- Third-party logistics warehouses that need void fill without dedicated storage space
- Exporters shipping fragile goods in FCL and LCL containers
- Contract packers replacing loose fill and hand-cut foam on manual packing lines
- Manufacturers of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics who ship high-value items
Problems It Solves
- Pre-formed void fill occupies warehouse space that could hold saleable inventory
- Loose fill migrates during transit and leaves products unprotected on arrival
- Hand-cut foam and crumpled paper slow the packing line and vary in quality between packers
- Over-filled cartons attract dimensional weight charges on courier and air freight
- Inconsistent cushion size leads to under-protection or over-packaging
Technical Features
- Continuous roll of small sealed chambers inflated 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
- Chambers are sealed individually and can be torn by hand to custom lengths
- 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, depending on size and width

Materials
- PE film extruded from 100% new raw material with no recycled regrind in the seal layer
- Biodegradable film available on request for buyers with packaging waste targets
How It Is Made
Film blowing from virgin PE resin
Chamber and channel sealing to form the small 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 pattern selected as small bubble, small tube, or quilt format
- Web width and roll length to match your carton programme
- 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 places 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

Protective Packaging Air Bag Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for protective packaging air bag
Order quantity depends on chamber size and film grade. Send us the sizes 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.
