Why Are Dunnage Bags Important?

What are Dunnage Bags?

Dunnage bags, also known as dunnage air bags, are inflatable cushions used to brace palletised loads during shipment. These bags can be made from different types of material, with paper, vinyl, and woven pp being the most common. 

Each dunnage bag is equipped with a bladder inside that can be inflated and deflated as needed. 

Using dunnage bags is a cost-effective method for preventing products from moving during shipping or transportation. Dunnage bags simply fill a void, preventing damage to your goods.

How do you use Dunnage Bags?

Dunnage bags are inflated via specialised inflators, and placed inside voids in each container load. By filling in voids in each load, it helps minimise shock and impact whilst the shipment is in transit. Dunnage bags have a wide range of sizes that help fill in different spaces in a loaded container.

Adding in dunnage bags secures your cargo, and aims to keep goods safe. Without dunnage bags, goods inside the container may end up with damage due to contents shifting during transit.
