Air Shock bottle packs

About Air Shock bottle packaging

Air Shock is an 'armoured air' product from Kite Packaging, designed to protect glass bottles in transit.

As with our standard range of air cushion packaging, the bottle packs are stored and delivered flat ready to be inflated as and when they are needed. Our range of air compressors and inflation kits are essential for the inflation of the packs.

Please allow a 7-10 day lead time for the small compressor.

Benefits

• Easy to inflate: all our air bag bottle packaging comes with a pre-inserted valve to aid inflation for labourers
• Lightweight: inflatable air cushion bottle packs are 98% air once inflated, reducing your overall pack weight significantly
• Excellent shock absorption: an essential benefit when shipping glass, packs are made from LDPE and are rigid when inflated, providing 360 degree air cushioning
• Easy to handle: pack time and labour costs can be reduced dramatically, as one pack is all that's needed to pack a product
• Space-saving: un-inflated pouches take up a margin of the space needed to store polystyrene or foam fittings
• Presentable: inflatable packaging pillows are transparent, presenting good-looking bottles in an interesting way
• Hygienic: no harsh chemicals or toxic residue, ideal for the drinks and pharmaceutical industry
• Environmentally-friendly: can be deflated after use and recycled

Kite's range of Air Shock bottle packaging

Our range of inflatable air cushion packaging bottle packs is suitable for various bottle sizes and is designed especially for the drinks industry and the pharmaceutical/healthcare sector.

You can use it in two ways: by inflating the pouches prior to packing and inserting the bottles in, or by putting the bottles in the uninflated pouches and inflating the cushions around it. There is a plastic valve in our Air Shock bottle pouches to make inflation quicker and easier.

All packs are made from 75 micron LDPE material, creating the 'armoured' feel to the pouches. Please see bullet points below for more information about each pack.

Kite's range of air compressors and inflation kits

All of our air cushion packaging packs, including our bottle packs, are inflated using an air compressor – combined with an inflation kit. You can find out more about our air compressors and inflation kits below.

Air compressors

We offer a small compressor, and a large compressor for inflating air cushion packaging. The large compressor is recommended for higher volumes, and both compressors come with a 12 month warranty. If you encounter any problems with these machines within the 12 month period, please contact us to discuss your warranty.

Large compressor Our large compressor (410 X 410 X 520mm) weighs 24kg and has a capacity of 22 litres. The 0.55kw motor operates at 120psi and is ultra-quiet running (52dB).

Inflation kits

Compressors can only operate with Air Shock in conjunction with an inflation kit. Each one is simply fitted; watch our video to see just how easy it is.

Gun inflation kit Our gun inflation kit is quick and easy to use, attaching to the compressor with ease and operated with a trigger mechanism.

Desk mounted inflation kit We use this desk mounted kit at our exhibitions, and to demonstrate to Major customers as it is best for high volume use. Attach one valve to the compressor and the other to a foot pedal, which is simply pressed by the operative to release air into the Air Shock packs.

Air Shock bespoke packs

Did you know we have a specialist team of experienced sales engineers who can design packs specifically for your products, including packs for large white goods, electronics and engineering stock?

Kite’s bespoke service is offered to our Major Accounts customers with high volumes of products to pack, and therefore minimum order quantities do apply.
