Frequently asked questions about air cushion packaging
An air cushion machine is a compact desktop device that inflates rolls of flat film into protective air-filled cushions, bubble wrap or tubes. You load a roll of film, plug it in, and it produces packaging on demand meaning you only make what you need for each parcel. Our machines are plug-and-play, require no training, and come with a warranty and spare wearable parts.
Our machines are among the most affordable air cushion machines available in the UK, and the ongoing film costs are significantly lower than buying pre-made bubble wrap or loose fill. Most businesses recoup the machine cost within weeks.
Yes. Our films contain 50% recycled content and are 100% recyclable. They're exempt from the UK Plastic Packaging Tax. We also provide a free Return 2 Recycle service we send you prepaid mailers and you send back used film for proper recycling.
Air cushions provide equivalent or superior protection while requiring far less storage space. The film is stored flat and inflated on demand, so a compact roll replaces bulky pre-made bubble wrap. They're also faster to use no cutting or tearing and the 50% recycled content makes them more environmentally responsible than virgin bubble wrap.
