Air cushions are essentially plastic films that are inflated with air using airpad machines, serving as effective void fill or cushioning materials. These air pillows are designed to protect products during shipping and storage by providing a buffer against impacts and vibrations.
They can be used in various applications, such as filling empty spaces in boxes or wrapping products to ensure they are securely cushioned from all sides. This innovative packaging method not only enhances product protection but also contributes to sustainability efforts, as many air cushions are made from recyclable materials.
