About Air Shock Packaging

Air Shock is the branded inflatable air cushion packaging from Kite Packaging designed to provide protection to a variety of items. Safeguard your fragile, high-value goods within their usable dimensions, including pharmaceuticals and bottles of different sizes, whether that’s wine, spirits or champagne. They are also suitable for shipping laptops, tablets and hard drives along with fragile ornaments and a range of ceramics such as mugs, plates and bowls.

We dispatch our air cushions flat-packed for easy delivery and storage, however, they can be inflated easily using a hand pump or air compressor. Their hooded lids, built-in valves and columns make for convenient inflation, while construction from 70–75-micron LDPE material grants toughness and rigidity. Our inflatable air cushions offer 360˚ of armoured air protection, guaranteeing that fragile goods reach their destination undamaged.

Use them in two ways: either by inflating the pouches before packing and inserting goods, or by placing the goods in the uninflated pouches and inflating the cushions around them. For goods requiring extra protection, our air pillows should be used in conjunction with a single-wall outer box.

Kite's Air Shock packs are not only practical but also environmentally friendly, as they can be deflated after use and recycled. Elevate your packaging process with Kite's Air Shock, providing peace of mind that your items are safeguarded throughout their journey. No matter what you’re shipping, our Air Shock packs offer a secure and armoured solution for all your packaging needs.

Kite's 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.
