Packaging machines (I): Air fillers

why do I need a packaging machine? What are the advantages of a packaging machine? Is it better to buy the filler directly or to manufacture it? Which machine would be ideal for my shipments? These are common questions among our customers and we have created this post to answer them easilyAdvantages of having an air-filling machine:

• Optimise space: it seems that a machine should take up more space than the filler itself. this is not the case. as a good example, 10 rolls of film is equivalent to a full truckload of bubble wrap film and, as you can see in the picture, the space it takes up much less.
• Cost reduction: this answer is more obvious. The weight of the air filler is less and therefore the associated shipping costs are lower. This is a good argument for using this type of filler.
• Versatile: They are so small in size and require so little installation that they can be included in any assembly line.
• Easy to use: They are very simple to use.
• Clean: The air bags do not spread around the workplace and do not generate dust.
• No initial investment is required: because the machines are rented out.
• Environmentally friendly: made from 100% recyclable material.
• Excellent protection: Manufactured with highly resistant film for optimum product protection.
• Aesthetic: the plastic film, whether in the form of a bag or protective bubbles, leaves the product it wraps or protects visible, making it easy to identify for the customer who receives it and the user who handles it. The brand image is always present.

filling or protection?the difference is simple: do you need to cover the hollow spaces in your shipments to prevent the product from moving and give it a better appearance? Or do you also need to protect the product in the shipment because it is fragile and can break? If your need is more in line with the first question, you are looking for filler packaging. In the case of the second, you are looking for protective packaging.
