Top Airbags for Shipping Freight
Sunrise Manufacturing offers a strong, high-quality selection of air bags you can employ in your strategic shipping strategy. These bags provide numerous benefits and, when incorporated into other key shipping solutions, help ensure your products will arrive safe and sound.
Polywoven and Paper Air Bags
These AAR-approved polywoven and kraft paper air bags are lightweight, durable, and easy to use. Coming in a variety of specifications and sizes, our experts can help you choose the best solution for your particular application.
Square Air Bags
This air bag option fills extra-large voids and provides more surface contact for enhanced load restraint. Square air bags can reduce your need for additional dunnage materials and labor, saving you money. These durable AAR-approved air bags have a gusseted, durable polypropylene outer shell that gives them tear and puncture resistance.
BUF-BAG®
Designed to be a user-friendly, one-piece application, our BUF-BAG® provides added strength and support for enhanced load securement. Each BUF-BAG® is customized for your application and comprises a durable air bag sandwiched between two pieces of dunnage, which can include a variety of options from corrugated sheets to DIAMOND-PAK® or Sunrise Small Cell™ honeycomb panels. This one-piece system can greatly reduce labor during installation.
Industries Best Served by Airbags for Shipping Freight
Airbags can be used for a number of different industries. If used correctly, they can withstand the hazards of shipping environments like ground, rail, and even ocean modalities.
Boxcar
Boxcar shipping and all rail shipping in general should work in tandem with the American Association of Railroads. Sunrise Manufacturing has a long and extensive partnership with the AAR, and several of our dunnage options — including the square airbags — are AAR certified.
Intermodal
Intermodal shipping uses multiple transportation methods, including rail, road, and water. When using air bags for intermodal purposes, knowing the order of different shipping methods is critical to account for the different environments your products will be in.
Over-the-Road
Similar to boxcar modality, if over-the-road shipping is your choice for transporting your freight, it’s important to keep your cargo protected with air bags. Each trucking company and trailer will differ, but airbags, when filled properly, will do the job of protecting your freight no matter the conditions.
Ocean
When utilizing ocean shipping for your freight, airbags will potentially be exposed to drastic temperature changes, differing levels of humidity and moisture, and could be compacted into tight spaces.
