When should I use dunnage air bags?

Use dunnage air bags when transporting goods by truck, rail, or sea—especially when there are voids between cargo units that could lead to movement and damage during transit.

How do I choose the right size and type of dunnage air bag?

Select a dunnage air bag based on the size of the void, the weight of the cargo, and the mode of transport. Paper bags are typically used for trucks, while polywoven or vinyl bags are better for rail and ocean shipments.

What are common mistakes to avoid when using dunnage air bags?

Avoid placing bags in oversized voids, overinflating, using the wrong type of bag for the application, or not securing the bag properly. These can all lead to cargo shifting and potential damage.
