Revisiting the Applications of Air Pillows for Optimal Product Protection

Air pillows have revolutionized product protection, offering a versatile and efficient alternative to traditional void-fill and cushioning materials. With various sizes available, these innovative air pillows effectively secure items inside packages, safeguarding them from potential damage caused by movement and impact during transit. The AirSaver film, boasting a resilient one mil thickness, can withstand shipments of various weights, from small parcels to hefty loads.

To ensure the utmost safety of your merchandise during transit, here are five practical ways to make optimal use of our air pillows:

Blocking & Bracing

Prevent your merchandise from bouncing and shifting excessively during transit, leading to crushed products and damaged boxes. By employing air pillows strategically to block and brace your shipment, you can avoid unnecessary damage and maintain the structural integrity of the packaging.

Box Lining

Use box lining to protect fragile contents from all sides of the box. Starting with the bottom of the box, add a layer of inflated air pillows before placing the item in the box. Ensure ample space to add air pillows to the sides of the box and on the top to snugly hold the item in place, preventing movement during transit.

Corner Protection

Enhance shock absorbency within your shipping boxes and increase product protection. Our cushion wrap effectively shields all four corners of the box, ensuring that your merchandise remains securely positioned in the center, the safest location during shipping.

Cushioning & Wrapping

Typically used with cushion wrap to prevent shifting during transit by filling the void around the items. Ensure the gaps are filled, securely protecting the merchandise with a snug but not tight fit, allowing for a secure and immobile transit experience.

Interleaving

Ideal for safeguarding stacked items with delicate surfaces, such as dinnerware, frames, vases, and automotive parts. The cushion wrap provides excellent protection between the stacked items, minimizing the risk of scratches or breakages.

Top Filling

In cases where products are not tightly packed, they may be susceptible to damage during transit due to tossing and stacking. By filling any empty spaces at the top with air pillows, you can ensure that your products remain well-protected throughout the journey.

Void Fill

Utilize air pillows to occupy and secure all empty spaces within shipping boxes, providing additional protection for your products during transportation. This approach is recommended for cosmetics (e.g., lipstick, fragrances, and personal care products) and delicate candy bags. With the ability to determine the precise number of pillows needed for each shipment, wastage is significantly reduced.
