Airbags, when inflated and installed, reduce the risk of product damage by restricting load movement during transit. Additionally, air bags reposition the load and create a bulkhead, further preventing load shifts.

Air bags consist of a clear plastic bladder that holds compressed air, and an outer shell made of extensible kraft paper or woven polypropylene material. In addition, some air bags consist of only one layer of material- for example, vinyl or polyethylene.

Other industry terms for air bags: Disposable Inflatable Dunnage (D.I.D), Reusable Dunnage Air Bag, Disposable Dunnage bag, Inflatable Dunnage Bag, or Dunnage Bags.

An airbag is placed in the void, usually between the cargo. An inflator is used to inflate the airbag with compressed air. As the airbag fills, it pushes product against the sidewalls of the container/trailer and locks the load in place. Most airbags take only seconds to fill, making airbags a productive and cost effective way to protect products in transit.

Finding the correct size and type of airbag requires a complex process that involves examining a variety of factors such as product weight, size, product type, transport mode, and loading practice.
