Inflatable Packaging Materials
Air Pillows, Protective Wrap and MultiPocket Cushioning Inflated On Demand
Choose from lightweight air pillows for void fill, inflatable tubes for blocking and bracing, SoftLayer for protective wrapping and MultiPocket for combined cushioning and void fill. Supplied flat on compact rolls and inflated only when required, these materials reduce storage demands while giving packing teams the right format for each product and carton.

Inflatable Materials Matched to Your Products, Cartons and Packing Process
The best inflatable material depends on what is being protected and how it moves through the supply chain. Severn Packaging supplies the materials, inflation equipment and delivery options as one coordinated system, helping ensure reliable inflation, consistent protection and straightforward repeat supply.
Machinery and Materials from One Supplier
One team can specify the inflator, material format and delivery method, reducing compatibility issues and simplifying ongoing support.
Inflate Only What You Need
Compact rolls replace bulky pre-inflated packaging, releasing warehouse space and producing material at the packing point.
Protection for Different Tasks
Choose void-fill pillows, protective tubes, wrapping film or hybrid cushioning rather than forcing one material into every application.
Recycled-Content and Paper Options
Alternative material constructions are available for businesses balancing product protection, presentation and environmental objectives.

Pair Your Materials with the Right Inflatable Packaging System
Inflatable materials perform best when the machine, roll width and delivery method are selected together. Our inflatable packaging machines cover compact bench-top and wider-format production, while air-cushion delivery systems can store, present or distribute inflated material around individual benches and multi-station packing areas.

How We Choose the Right Inflatable Packaging Material
Understand the Protection Challenge
We review the product, carton, journey and the main causes of movement or damage.
- Consider weight, fragility and surface sensitivity
- Review carton size and empty space
- Identify whether the pack needs void fill, wrapping or cushioning
Compare Suitable Cushion Formats
We assess air pillows, tubes, SoftLayer and MultiPocket against the packing task.
- Match the cushion format to the required protection
- Consider packing speed, storage and presentation
- Review compatibility with the inflation system
Test and Confirm the Solution
Where appropriate, we trial the selected material before agreeing machine settings and ongoing supply.
- Check cushioning and product stability
- Confirm the film format and dispensing setup
- Plan repeat supply around expected consumption
Frequently Asked Questions
Air pillows suit lightweight void filling, tubes provide stronger blocking and bracing, SoftLayer is designed for wrapping, and MultiPocket combines wrapping with void fill. The best choice depends on product weight, fragility, carton size and transport conditions.
No. Roll width, core, film construction, air channel and sealing requirements must match the machine. Severn Packaging will check compatibility before recommending or supplying material.
The material is supplied uninflated on compact rolls and converted at the packing point. This occupies far less space than storing equivalent volumes of pre-made bubble wrap or loose void fill.
SoftLayer is specifically suited to many wrapping applications currently using bubble wrap. A packing trial is recommended for fragile, heavy, sharp-edged or high-value products.
Yes. Recycled-content films and selected paper-faced pillow formats are available. The most appropriate option will depend on the required protection, presentation, machinery and end-of-life route.
Yes. Delivery options range from simple bins and mobile stands to overhead storage and distribution systems serving multiple benches. The layout can be designed around available space and operator demand.
