Air Pillow Inflatable Packaging

For delicate and fragile items, void space inside boxes can cause damage during transit. Which is why Signet’s air pillows are a great option for internal protection inside packages. They can be inserted around items to ensure no movement happens inside the package during transit and can be used alongside other protective packaging such as bubble wrap.

What is air cushion/pillow packaging?

Air cushion or air pillow packaging is a modern protective packaging solution. Instead of traditional bubble wrap or foam protection, air pillows provide void fill in boxes and cartons to protect items during transit. The air pillows are made from a strong but lightweight plastic, so when packed they won’t add excess shipping costs. They are inflated on demand, so storing the product takes up minimal space. These air-filled pockets ensure products, from delicate kitchen items to robust machines, remain secure and undamaged. Think of it as a safety net, made of pockets of air, cushioning your precious items.

How does inflatable packaging work?

The system behind inflatable packaging is both ingenious and simple. First, a poly material, similar to the material used in mailing bags, is taken. These bags are then filled with air using machines, creating the "pillows". The amount of air, size, and pressure can be adjusted to suit the product's needs. For businesses, incorporating this into their shipping process can be seamless, especially with compatible heat sealers and dispensers on hand.

Are air pillows eco-friendly?

One of the major benefits of using air pillows for protective packaging is their environmental impact. Since the primary filling is air, there's a significant reduction in the use of materials. Given their lightweight nature, they reduce the overall shipping weight, leading to lesser carbon emissions during delivery.

Why choose air pillows over traditional bubble wrap or foam?

Air pillows offer a more space-efficient and lightweight solution. Their design ensures maximum protection with minimal material, making it cost-effective and eco-friendly. Plus, they can be deflated or reused, reducing waste.

How do I inflate air pillows?

Air pillows can be inflated using the FillAir Rocket Air Pillow System, a high-speed pillow system with an internal air pump that inflates up to 30 metres of packaging per minute. It is compact and easy to use with a push button operation, even in decentralised tabletop environments.
