Which is more suitable for fragile packaging? Air column bag, EPE foam, Styrofoam?

Which is more suitable for packaging of fragile products, such as air bubble bag, air column bag, foam and pearl cotton? With the development of trading and the upgrading of products, there are many commodities that are transported and circulated in different regions, and a lots of fragile packaging coming out accordingly. Plenty of products requires long-distance transportation, how to protect them during transportation is a complicated problem!
What are the common fragile packaging in the market? The common fragile packaging in life is roughly Styrofoam, EPE foam , air column bags, etc. Why suggest air column bag for you ? Let's see a simple analysis from several perspectives.

Air column bag
Protection: Styrofoam and EPE damage will cause fragile product damage; while the air column bag is composed of multiple independent air columns, even if a single air column is damaged, the protection effect will not be affected, and the protection performance is better.
Logistics transportation: The transportation cost of styrofoam and pearl cotton is very high. Although the weight is small, the space is large. A little more volume requires many trucks to load; because the air column bag is not inflated before use, it is transported. The bag requires only a small space, saving a lot of transportation costs.


Material cost: Styrofoam and EPE need to be moulded according to the shape of the fragile product, and the subsequent batch cost is moderate; the use of air column bags does not need to open the mould, and the cost has advantages over the former two.
Environmental protection: Styrofoam and EPE are "white pollution", they are difficult to degrade and dispose of after use, and produce toxic gas after burning; the air column bag has passed the SGS non-toxic certification, in line with the EU ROHS green environmental protection requirements, high temperature and non-toxic after sale No pollution, in line with the seventh category of environmental resource recycling.

In terms of storage: Styrofoam and EPE are molded packaging, which are molded and foamed according to the shape of fragile products. They occupy a large area and have high storage cost pressure; when the air column bag is not inflated, there are only a few sheets of A4 paper thickness. It is inflated when in use, so it occupies very little storage space and the storage cost is very low.

From the above comparison, it can be seen that in terms of cost control and protection performance, the use of air column bags is the future trend under the prerequisites of increasing attention to environmental issues around the world! It is better to use air column bags for fragile packaging.
