Dunnage Bags by X-Pak: Elevate Cargo Safety and Efficiency with our Woven Inflatable Solutions – Secure, Reliable, and Environmentally Friendly.

Securing Your Cargo with Inflatable Dunnage Bags by X-Pak

Safeguarding your goods during transportation is paramount. Beyond traditional load restraint methods like timber bracing, strapping, and lashing, one aspect significantly influences cargo safety: the inflatable dunnage bag. Dunnage bags, also known as inflatable dunnage bags or dunnage air bags, are inflatable devices placed between freighted items, playing a crucial role in preventing movement during transit. They absorb shock, prevent vibrations, and ensure stable cargo arrival. Dunnage bags are inflated to high pressure, filling gaps in containers and bracing the cargo. When not in use, dunnage bags are deflated, making them space-efficient and lightweight. Minimise shipping damage and ensure your load is stabilised with X-Pak’s Inflatable Dunnage Bags. Offering outstanding load-stabilising capacity, our dunnage bags can withstand significant pressure, resist load shifting, and are reusable, making them a cost-effective investment to safeguard your products.

Why Use X-Pak Dunnage Air Bags?

• Customisable Dunnage air bags can be customised to meet specific cargo and shipping requirements. This includes tailoring the size, shape, and inflation capacity of the bags to ensure optimal performance for different types of goods. X-Pak Global can create custom solutions for your dunnage bag requirements.
• Enhanced Load Stability Dunnage bags enhance load stability by providing additional support to the cargo. This stability is crucial, especially for goods that are sensitive to movement or require precise positioning during transit.
• Compliance with Regulations Using dunnage air bags helps companies comply with industry regulations and standards for cargo securement. Adhering to these regulations is essential for ensuring the safety of the shipment and avoiding legal issues during transportation.
• Cost-Effective Solution Inflatable dunnage bags are a cost-effective solution compared to other methods of securing cargo. They provide reliable protection at a reasonable cost, making them an economical choice for businesses looking to prevent product damage. Woven bags’ durability and reusability reduce the demand for raw materials.
• Versatility Dunnage bags are versatile and can be used in various modes of transportation, including shipping containers, trucks, and rail cars. Their adaptability makes them suitable for different types of cargo and shipping scenarios.
• Resilience and Longevity Woven bags are crafted for strength, withstanding pressure without rupturing. They exhibit a longer lifespan and enhanced reusability compared to paper, reducing waste.
• Weather & Moisture Resistance Woven bags resist weathering and caustic chemicals, offering superior durability against wear and tear, even in challenging shipping conditions. The moisture-resistant fabric preserves cargo integrity and extends bag lifespan, protecting goods from humidity and dampness.
• Space Optimisation Dunnage bags can be deflated and stored efficiently when not in use. This space-saving feature is valuable in warehouses and storage areas, allowing for optimal space utilisation.
• Reduced Product Damage The primary purpose of dunnage bags is to prevent movement and shifting of cargo during transit. By securing the load in place, dunnage bags help reduce the risk of product damage caused by friction, impact, or vibrations during transportation.
• Quick and Easy Installing dunnage bags is a straightforward process. They can be quickly inflated and placed in position, saving time during the loading and unloading processes. This efficiency can contribute to overall supply chain productivity. If you use a handheld machine such as our Portable Air Master (PAM) unit, you can inflate a bag in half the time (30 secs to 1 min) than by using a compressor.

Key Features of X-Pak Dunnage Bags

Our woven dunnage bags are constructed from 100% woven material ethically sourced. We supply the Australian market with Level 0 through to Level 5 bags, as well as many custom solutions. Providing the correct solution for your unique requirements is important. At times this can mean a specific size may be required, and we work closely with our factory to manufacture bespoke solutions. We have a large focus on quality control – 10% of our level one bags are pressure tested and all bags from level two upwards undergo a 19-day pressure and burst test before they enter the market.

Main features

• Ultimate protection – keep loads secure
• Durable – made from tough woven materials.
• High quality – pressure tested to extreme quality standards.
• Quick & easy to use – fast inflation with battery operated tools.
• Re-usable – better for the environment and reduces waste.

Single and Dual bags of all sizes

We have a range of different-sized Dunnage Bags to meet your needs, including dual bags. The Dual Bag system has been developed to fill voids between cargo greater than 400mm. Dual Bags are certified and an ideal alternative to timber dunnage framing. They are a light and cost-effective way to fill large voids and can be custom-made for your requirements.

How to choose the correct Dunnage Bag?

A variety of sizes are available for various applications. A dunnage bag will perform best with maximum surface coverage on your product without protruding above the products or touching the floor. Bags protruding above product, in most cases, will ‘wriggle’ themselves upwards during transit, therefore rendering themselves ineffective and compromising your load.

Dunnage Bag Tools

Inflate-X Pro

X-Pak’s portable Inflate-X Pro unit is a unique, air inflation tool for our range of bags. The Inflate-X Pro is a first of its kind. With a 6000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it has a continuous run time which can inflate up to 80-bags in one session. The Inflate-X Pro puts out an extremely powerful 28 Cubic feet per minute, which is a much higher output compared to most air compressors.

• Improved efficiency – reduces inflation time by up to 50% (in comparison to compressor hoses).
• Removes the risk of trip hazards & improves health and safety.
• Fills bags to a set pressure so there is no chance of over-inflation.

Inflate-X Ultimate

X-Pak’s portable Inflate-X Ultimate unit is an advanced digital air inflation tool for our range of dunnage bags. As the evolution of the Inflate-X Pro, it is designed for operations requiring faster inflation speed and precise pressure control. Featuring a calibrated digital display, the Ultimate allows operators to view both set and actual pressure during inflation, ensuring consistent results across every container load.

• Improved speed – higher output delivers faster bag inflation compared to standard portable units.
• Digital pressure control – displays set and actual pressure for accurate, repeatable inflation.
• Eliminates compressor hoses – removes trip hazards and improves workplace safety.
• Prevents over-inflation – calibrated pressure settings ensure controlled bag performance.
• Integrated deflation key – enables safe, controlled air release during unloading.
• Trigger lock function – allows easier bag positioning while inflating.

Digital Inflator for Dunnage Bags

This inflation tool simply plugs into an air compressor hose or airline. It has a digital gauge to enable you to set the required pressure in your dunnage bags where required. The inflator comes with a system where it will shut off additional inflation when the set pressure is reached. Consistent inflation: Set your desired pressure every time. Can be used as a standard inflator (no set pressure). Light weight and robust design.
