Air shock for paint tins
Insufficient protection can cause paint tins to become damaged in transit. This can lead to thousands of pounds worth of losses in product, clean-up operations and supply chain issues, not to mention the resulting negative environmental impact.
Packaging paint tins in air shock pouches ensures your product reaches its destination without any issues.
What are paint tin air shock pouches?
Air shock pouches, also known as air cushion pouches or air-filled packaging, are protective packaging materials used to cushion and protect fragile items during shipping and handling. They are made of plastic and consist of multiple air-filled chambers.
Designed to provide cushioning and shock absorption, these pouches act as a protective barrier against impacts and vibrations during transit.
They are lightweight, flexible, and often reusable, making them a popular choice for shipping fragile items safely.
We stock three sizes (1L, 2.5L & 5L) to cater to the most popular sizes of paint tins.
How do inflatable air shock pouches work?
Our air shock pouches are delivered flat packed for easy storage and can be inflated when required using a hand pump or air compressor. Once inflated, the paint tin can be inserted and is essentially suspended in 360˚ of protective air cushioning, ready for shipment in a cardboard box of your choosing. The two larger sizes have overlapping flaps and extra air bag ‘plugs’ which must be inserted at the top and bottom of the pack, providing that extra bit of protection to keep your paint tins protected in transit.
We also advise that the pack is placed into a polythene bag before inserting into the outer box for extra protection.
Have the pouches been tested?
The packs have been transit tested using Kite’s unique Mobile Packaging Laboratory drop test facility, and whilst not certified, they perform very well against ISTA guidelines.
What are air shock pouches made from?
Air shock pouches are made from low density polyethylene and contain 30% recycled content. Once deflated, they are widely kerbside recyclable, facilitating responsible disposal.
