Air Pillows for Protective Packaging
Lightweight, on-demand void fill in single pillow, double pillow, paper and tube formats
Severn Packaging supplies inflatable protective packaging for filling empty space, cushioning products and reducing movement inside the box. Film is inflated at the packing point, so compact rolls replace bulky pre-inflated materials and give operators clean, lightweight protection when it is needed. Choose from single pillows, double pillows, air tubes and recycled-paper pillow formats, with GreenLine and RecycLine options available for operations seeking higher recycled content.
Four Protective Formats
Single pillows, double pillows, paper pillows and air tubes
Inflated On Demand
Compact rolls reduce storage and deliver cushioning at the pack bench
GreenLine & RecycLine
Options with at least 30% or at least 90% recycled material
Lightweight Protection
Efficient void fill with minimal additional parcel weight

Four Formats for Void Fill, Cushioning and Wrapping
Single pillows provide fast, general-purpose void fill for everyday parcels and help restrict product movement inside the carton.
Double pillows create greater filling volume per section, making them useful for larger voids and higher-throughput packing operations.
Air tubes form connected tubular chambers that can be wrapped, folded or layered around products where more continuous cushioning is required.
Paper pillows use 100% recycled paper and recycled kraft paper to provide a paper-based void-fill option in various widths, including applications involving heavier products.

GreenLine and RecycLine Film Options
GreenLine contains at least 30% recycled material while retaining the low weight and load capacity required for everyday protective packaging.
RecycLine contains at least 90% recycled material, including post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content. It provides a higher-recycled-content option without giving up the storage and weight advantages of on-demand air cushions.
Both film types are recyclable where suitable polyethylene film collection facilities are available. Local recycling instructions should always be checked.

Inflatable Film Supplied Around Your Products and Packing Process
Air pillow materials are available in several widths, chamber patterns and roll formats.

Air Pillow Packaging FAQs
Air pillows fill empty space inside cartons, restrict product movement and provide lightweight cushioning during storage and delivery. They are commonly used in e-commerce, distribution, fulfilment and general industrial packing.
Single pillows are a versatile option for everyday void fill. Double pillows create more filling volume in each section, allowing operators to fill larger spaces quickly with fewer pieces of material.
Air tubes are useful where cushioning needs to be wrapped around a product, folded into a carton or layered to protect edges and surfaces. The connected tubular chambers provide more continuous support than separate pillows.
The paper pillow format uses 100% recycled paper and recycled kraft paper. It is available in various widths and provides a paper-based void-fill option, including applications involving heavier products.
GreenLine contains at least 30% recycled material. RecycLine contains at least 90% recycled material, including post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content. Both are designed to retain the lightweight protection and storage efficiency of inflatable packaging.
GreenLine and RecycLine films are recyclable where suitable polyethylene film collection facilities exist. Air should be released before disposal, and customers should follow the recycling guidance provided by their local authority or waste contractor. The recycled-paper pillow provides a separate paper-based option.
