Dunnage air bags are one of the most practical, cost-effective, and easy-to-use dunnage products for any strategic shipping solution. These inflatable bags work in numerous settings.
There are key situations where inflatable securement makes the most sense and should be considered prior to shipping. Sunrise Manufacturing explains the basics of dunnage air bags, highlights where inflatable securement makes the most sense, and features key products that can be used to create a smart and safe protective shipping strategy for your products.
Explaining Dunnage Air Bags
Dunnage air bags are inflatable bags made out of either polywoven material or kraft paper. The inner, inflatable portion is commonly made with polyethylene, while the exterior of the bag is polywoven or kraft paper, which provides strength and abrasion resistance.
These bags are an example of void filler solutions that are placed in empty void spaces that can cause potential damage to products when products shift. Air bags are placed, uninflated, in void spaces between the cargo. Bags are then inflated to fill void space, preventing side-to-side and end-to-end movement.

While dunnage air bags can be used in a wide range of applications, Sunrise Manufacturing has learned some of the most common applications and where these products make the most sense. They can assist you in finding the right solution.
