õhukotte

Õhukotte, also known as air cushion bags or inflatable packaging, are a type of protective packaging material used for shipping and storage. They are made from flexible plastic films, typically polyethylene, that are inflated with air to create a cushioning effect. This air-filled structure provides a barrier against shock, vibration, and impact, helping to protect fragile items during transit.

The manufacturing process involves heat-sealing two layers of plastic film together, leaving an opening for inflation. These bags can be produced in various shapes and sizes, including air pillows, bubble wrap, and custom-molded inserts. They are often used to fill empty space within shipping boxes, preventing items from shifting and reducing the risk of damage. Applications range from protecting electronics and glassware to pharmaceuticals and food products.

Õhukotte offer several advantages. They are lightweight, which can help reduce shipping costs. They are also reusable and recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly packaging option in some cases. The ability to customize their size and shape allows for tailored protection for specific products. The demand for ōhukotte has grown significantly with the rise of e-commerce, as online retailers seek reliable ways to ship goods safely to consumers. Their primary function is to absorb energy and distribute impact forces away from the product, ensuring it arrives at its destination in good condition.
