Air cushions are protective packaging materials filled with air, designed to safeguard fragile items during shipping and handling. They are lightweight and can absorb shock, reducing the risk of damage to products like electronics, glassware, and other delicate items. These cushions come in various forms, including inflatable bags and bubble wrap. They are often used in combination with other packaging materials to create a secure environment for items in transit. Air cushions are also eco-friendly options, as many are made from recyclable materials.
