Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a machine to use air cushioning?
It depends on the product. The Rapid Fill air pillow bags come pre-filled and need no machine, while the air pillow film requires an air cushion machine such as the Mini Pak'r or an inline floor unit to inflate on demand.
What's the difference between air pillows and air pillow film?
Air pillows are ready-to-use cushions for quick void fill. Air pillow film is a flat roll that an air cushion machine inflates and seals into pillows on demand, which lowers cost per pillow for higher-volume operations.
How fast do the air pillows inflate?
The Rapid Fill bags inflate in about 8 seconds. The machines produce 200-500 pillows per minute (Mini Pak'r) up to 1,200 ft/min (floor unit) for continuous packing lines.
Is air cushioning good for fragile or heavy items?
Air cushioning is ideal for void fill and lightweight cushioning around products in a box. For very heavy or sharp items, pair it with bubble wrap or foam for edge and surface protection.
How do I choose between the desktop and floor machine?
Choose the desktop Mini Pak'r for low-to-medium volume packing stations, and the floor-standing inline machine for high-volume warehouse operations that need up to 1,200 ft/min throughput.
