Air Bag Roll (Valve System) — fast, clean void fill for shipping
This air bag roll is designed to create inflatable packing pillows (air bags) on demand, helping you fill empty space inside cartons so products are supported during transit. The roll uses a valve system with a single valve per tube, and is supplied as a single-layer 75µm film roll. It’s a practical choice for busy packing benches where speed, consistency and storage efficiency matter.
Key Features
Valve-system inflation (single valve per tube)
The valve design is intended to allow quick inflation and sealing during the packing process, producing consistent air bags for void fill.
Large-format roll for efficient packing
Supplied as a wide, long roll format, helping reduce changeovers and keep packing lines moving.
75µm single-layer film
A single-layer film construction at 75 micron thickness, balancing material use with protective performance for typical void-fill needs.
On-demand cushioning
Inflate only what you need, when you need it—helping reduce the storage space required compared with pre-filled loosefill or pre-inflated cushions.
Clean, professional presentation
Air pillows provide a tidy pack appearance and can help keep products separated from each other inside the carton.

Air Bag Roll (Valve System) — Full Product Guide
Inflatable void fill is a simple idea: replace empty space in a shipping carton with lightweight air cushions so the contents are less likely to shift. This roll is made for producing air bags from film at the point of packing. Because the film is stored flat on a roll, it can be an efficient way to keep a high volume of void fill available without dedicating large areas of warehouse space to bulky materials.
How It Works
Air bag rolls are used with compatible inflation equipment that feeds the film, inflates each tube, and seals it to create a chain of air bags. Pack operators then tear off or separate the required number of cushions and place them around the product inside the carton. The single valve per tube configuration refers to the valve arrangement used during inflation.
Materials and Construction
This roll is specified as 75µm and single layer. Film thickness is commonly expressed in microns (µm). A single-layer construction keeps the roll straightforward and lightweight while still providing the air-cushioning effect once inflated.
Floor Type Compatibility
Because the product is supplied as a roll of film, it is typically stored on shelving or at a packing station rather than used directly on floors. For best results, keep the roll clean and dry and store it in a way that prevents crushing or edge damage.
Health and Safety
- Keep film away from heat sources and sharp edges that could puncture or weaken it.
- Use appropriate manual handling practices when moving rolls.
- Dispose of packaging materials responsibly and keep film away from children.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Air bags are commonly used as void fill rather than as a primary wrap. They are ideal when you need to stop products moving inside a carton, especially for boxed goods, multi-item orders, and shipments where presentation and speed matter. They can also help separate items so they don’t rub together during transit.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Store rolls in a dry area, away from direct sunlight where possible.
- Avoid placing heavy items on top of rolls to prevent deformation.
- Keep the inflation area free from dust and debris that could affect sealing or cause punctures.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
A typical packing bench workflow is: pick and check the order, erect the carton, place the product, then add a small number of inflated air bags to fill remaining space and stabilise the contents. Because cushions are produced on demand, operators can adjust the amount of void fill to suit each order without overpacking.
Who is it for?
- eCommerce fulfilment teams shipping a wide variety of carton sizes
- Warehouses looking to reduce storage space used by bulky void-fill materials
- Pack stations that value fast, repeatable packing processes
