Airsac® Inflatable Packaging FAQs
How do you fill an Airsac?
Filling an Airsac is a straightforward process. Here’s a general guide on how to fill an Airsac:
- Gather the Necessary Equipment: You’ll need the Airsac inflatable packaging, an air compressor, air line, or a hand pump, depending on the size and type of Airsac you are using.
- Adjust Air Pressure: If using an air compressor or air line, the recommended pressure is 10psi / 0.6 bar. Increasing pressure risks overinflation, which could burst or deform the cells of the bag.
- Open the Air Valve: Locate the air valve on the Airsac packaging. It’s a small valve on the side of the bag.
- Inflate the Airsac: Attach the air compressor, air line, or hand pump to the air valve. Start inflating the Airsac. Once it’s full, the valve will self-seal, as they are one way.
- Test and Adjust: Give the package a gentle shake or press on the Airsac to make sure it provides adequate cushioning and protection for the item.
- Pack your Product: You can now pack your product safely in the inflated back. Alternatively, you can pack a product into the bag prior to inflation. This can be particularly useful if you’re packing an irregularly shaped object.
Remember that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the type and design of the Airsac packaging you are using. Always refer to our instructions for the best inflation practices and to ensure proper use and protection during transit.
Are Airsacs recyclable?
The recyclability of Airsac inflatable packaging can vary depending on the specific material used in its construction. This type of packaging is manufactured from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which is recyclable.
To ensure proper recycling, follow these guidelines:
- Check with your recycling service provider: Check with your recycling service provider to see if they accept LDPE category 4 plastics for recycling. Alternatively, you can look for bag collection points at supermarkets.
- Reuse or Repurpose: Consider reusing this type of packaging for sending other parcels. Repurposing the material can help reduce its environmental impact.
