Plastics : Quilt Air Packaging and cost efficiency - Alternative to bubble wrap -

 

Basic Definition:

Quilt Air is a patented air cushion packaging system that creates quilted patterns of connected air chambers, forming a protective padding material on demand.

 
Structure & Design:

 
Physical Characteristics:

 
Pattern Layout:

• Connected air chambers
• Honeycomb-like structure
• Multiple size options
• Customizable patterns

Film Properties:

• Thickness: 15-25 microns
• Material: LDPE ( Low-Density Polyethylene )
• Transparent or custom colors
• Anti-static options available ( Electronic components )

Available Patterns:

Standard Quilt:

• Square chambers
• Size: 1" x 1" typically
• Connection points every inch
• Best for general protection

Large Quilt:

• Larger chambers (2" x 2")
• More air volume
• Better for heavy items
• Maximum cushioning

Small Quilt:

• Tiny chambers (0.5" x 0.5")
• Dense protection
• Ideal for small items
• Maximum flexibility
