Inspite of using the best packaging materials to pack your valuable products, they do not reach your costumers the same way you want.
Reason: voids and space inside container and between pallets allow the cargo to bang between themselves and damage is done.
Solutions: proper selection and use of cargo securing bags or dunnage air bags to secure cargo.
Other names of dunnage air bags are:- dunnage bags, inflatable bags, Kraft paper bags, void fillers, air cushions.
A dunnage bag consists of a closed chamber made from a plastic bag filled with air, covered by one or more layers of Kraft paper and /or kraft paper laminated with woven polypropylene and/or woven polypropylene. dunnage air bags secure and stabilize your cargo in sea containers, closed rail cars ,trucks and (ocean going)vessels
A dunnage bag is placed in the void between cargos(hence their name “void fillers)upon inflation ,cargo is being ‘pushed’ to the sides of a compartment (e.g container walls).it is extremely important to determine the size of the bag by the void that needs to be filled .simply said ,the bigger the void the wider the bag has to be to fill the gap without looking like a football lost between two goalposts! If this does not match then your dunnage bag can and will not do a proper job. this can result in cargo movement during transport and can cause damage to cargo and people.
Absorb lateral forces
Absorb longitudinal forces
Prevent sideway sliding and tipping
Prevent longitude tipping
Prevent vertical movement and acts as a void filler
Serveral factors need to be taken into consideration upon selecting the best bag for your cargo securing job. such as:
a) Moisture resistance
b) Durability (wear and tear)
c) Puncture resistance
d) Rigidity
e) Strength
f) Slippage/friction of bag and cargo
g.) Filling technology
h) Deflation and time to deflate
i.) Cost
Dunnage bags are available in a variety of sizes, how do you know which one fits your requirements?
Let's briefly touch that subject. Besides the right type of dunnage bag.The size of the bag is equally important and can be determined in three easy steps.
Rules of thumb for calculating the required width of a dunnage bag;measure the void and multiply this number by 2 and add 5 on top of the outcome,then look for the nearest wider bag. This means;
Void of 25cm requires a 60cm bag(25x2+5=55.Next nearest wider bag=60cm)
Void of 40cm requires a 90cm bag(40x2+5=85.Next nearest wider bag=90cm)
Void of 45cm requires a 100cm bag(45x2+5=95.Next nearest wider bag=100cm)
Void of 55cm requires a 120cm bag(55x2+5=115.Next nearest wider bag=120cm)
The dunnage bag should cover as near as possible the full height and lenght of the pallets or cargo units being
