Dunnage Bags for Cargo Securing

Dunnage bags for cargo securing

Dunnage bags are inflatable bracing bags placed in gaps between cargo units during transport. They are selected as part of a cargo securing system, not as ordinary parcel air cushions.

Matching the bag to the load

The best bag for a particular need depends on a number of variables such as void size, height of the cargo and specific shipping requirements. Check the individual product page and instructions for size, permitted void, operating pressure, loads and inflation-valve compatibility.

Installation and inspection

Install and inflate the bag according to the manufacturer’s instructions; inspect its condition and supporting surfaces. Never use it to brace against doors or non-rigid partitions. Reuse and suitability for a particular shipment must be confirmed for the selected product. For protection inside parcel boxes, see the separate category AirWave Air Cushion Packaging.
