How Dunnage Air Bags Work

Dunnage air bags fill the empty space between loads, helping to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. By creating a tight, stable fit, they protect your products and reduce the risk of damage.

They're easy to use, effective, and a smart solution for a wide range of shipping applications.

Choose the Right Dunnage Air Bag

Different loads require different levels of strength.

The right dunnage air bag depends on the weight of the load, the size of the void, and how the shipment will travel. From standard truck and container loads to heavier intermodal, rail, and ocean applications, we offer multiple levels and sizes to match the job.

How to Install Dunnage Air Bags

Before You Begin

Find the void

​After loading your freight, identify the gap that needs to be secured. A center void of 12 inches or less is ideal. This allows the inflated dunnage air bag to push the freight outward and stabilize the load.

Check the area

​Remove or cover anything sharp that could puncture the bag. Add a buffer sheet if needed.

For help selecting the correct size or level, our logistics specialists are available to assist.

1

Attach Inflator

Lift the valve cap and verify the valve is closed. (Twist the center of valve if necessary to close)
Snap the inflator nozzle onto the valve until it locks securely.

2

Position the Bag

Place the bag in the center of the void.

Keep it off the floor, and make sure it does not extend above the top or beyond the sides of the freight.

The face of the bag should cover as much cargo surface area as possible.

3

Inflate

While partially inflated, adjust the bag so it stays centered, remains off the floor, does not extend above the top of the freight, and makes full contact with both sides.
