For the durables segment, dispatching products from the manufacturing location to warehouses in designated containers in a safe and protected manner without any damage, becomes a huge challenge. This is particularly because of the empty spaces created by the multiple SKU’s being clubbed inside a single container.
Signode’s inflatable Air Bags are the perfect fit to fill the voids inside the container. Depending on the gap to be filled, the correct size of an Air Bag is chosen which eliminates any movement of the product during transit. The pneumatic digital inflation technology ensures that the bags are filled faster with exact pressure.
Traditionally these gaps were filled with EPS (expanded polystyrene) or corrugated fitments to arrest the movement of the product inside the container. Since the gaps are not fixed in size and shape, it was left to the worker to fit the adequate and right cushioning.
Today, all major durable manufacturers in India are using Air Bag solution for their domestic & export dispatches with the following benefits:
- Reduction in damage
- A sustainable solution as it eliminates EPS. The air bags can also be reused
- Increased productivity by using pneumatic inflator guns
- 30% cost savings against existing method
- Easy to pack and unpack the container
- Easy disposability of packaging material
- Reduced inventory space at the packing area
