Dunnage Bags by X-Pak: Elevate Cargo Safety and Efficiency with our Woven Inflatable Solutions – Secure, Reliable, and Environmentally Friendly.
Safeguarding your goods during transportation is paramount. Beyond traditional load restraint methods like timber bracing, strapping, and lashing, one aspect significantly influences cargo safety: the inflatable dunnage bag. Dunnage bags, also known as inflatable dunnage bags or dunnage air bags, are inflatable devices placed between freighted items, playing a crucial role in preventing movement during transit. They absorb shock, prevent vibrations, and ensure stable cargo arrival. Dunnage bags are inflated to high pressure, filling gaps in containers and bracing the cargo. When not in use, dunnage bags are deflated, making them space-efficient and lightweight. Minimise shipping damage and ensure your load is stabilised with X-Pak’s Inflatable Dunnage Bags. Offering outstanding load-stabilising capacity, our dunnage bags can withstand significant pressure, resist load shifting, and are reusable, making them a cost-effective investment to safeguard your products.
They can be quickly inflated and placed in position, saving time during the loading and unloading processes. This efficiency can contribute to overall supply chain productivity. If you use a handheld machine such as our Inflate-X Pro unit, you can inflate a bag in half the time (30 secs to 1 min) than by using a compressor. For higher-throughput environments, the Inflate-X Ultimate takes efficiency further with hands-free, digitally controlled inflation — ideal for fast-paced container loading where consistency and speed are critical.
Our woven dunnage bags are constructed from 100% woven material ethically sourced. We supply the Australian market with Level 0 through to Level 5 bags, as well as many custom solutions. Providing the correct solution for your unique requirements is important. At times this can mean a specific size may be required, and we work closely with our factory to manufacture bespoke solutions. We have a large focus on quality control – 10% of our level one bags are pressure tested and all bags from level two upwards undergo a 19-day pressure and burst test before they enter the market.
We have a range of different-sized Dunnage Bags to meet your needs, including dual bags. The Dual Bag system has been developed to fill voids between cargo greater than 400mm. Dual Bags are certified and an ideal alternative to timber dunnage framing. They are a light and cost-effective way to fill large voids and can be custom-made for your requirements.
With increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging, X-Pak’s dunnage air bags provide the perfect balance between safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Designed for multiple uses, these reusable and recyclable air bags reduce packaging waste while maintaining full compliance and load integrity across long-haul and export shipments.
A variety of sizes are available for various applications. A dunnage bag will perform best with maximum surface coverage on your product without protruding above the products or touching the floor. Bags protruding above product, in most cases, will ‘wriggle’ themselves upwards during transit, therefore rendering themselves ineffective and compromising your load.
X-Pak offers a complete range of dunnage bag inflation tools to suit different packing environments, from portable battery-powered inflation through to high-volume, digitally controlled inflation systems.
X-Pak’s portable Inflate-X Pro is a unique air inflation tool designed for our range of dunnage bags. With a 6000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it can inflate up to 80 bags in one session. Delivering a powerful 28 cubic feet per minute, it provides a much higher output than many standard air compressors.
For higher-volume operations, the Inflate-X Ultimate provides fast, controlled and consistent dunnage bag inflation. Designed for professional packing environments, it allows operators to inflate bags accurately and efficiently hands-free, helping improve load restraint processes while reducing manual handling and set-up time.
This inflation tool simply plugs into an air compressor hose or airline. It has a digital gauge to enable you to set the required pressure in your dunnage bags where required. The inflator comes with a system where it will shut off additional inflation when the set pressure is reached. Consistent inflation: Set your desired pressure every time. Can be used as a standard inflator (no set pressure). Light weight and robust design.
Don’t just take our word for it—see how X-Pak dunnage bags have solved real cargo protection challenges for major Australian exporters and manufacturers. These case studies demonstrate the measurable impact our solutions have on reducing product damage, improving workplace safety, and delivering significant cost savings.
These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.
Dunnage bags are typically made of layers of kraft paper or polyethylene with an inner layer of an inflatable plastic bladder. The materials used are chosen for their strength, flexibility, and ability to resist punctures.
The X-Pak range of dunnage bags contains 8% of recycled material. As we are the only vertically integrated manufacturer, we are continually looking at ways to reduce the use of virgin material in our bags, without compromising on quality.
Yes. Our dunnage bags are re-useable up to several times if in good condition. Our valve allows for simple deflation so they can be re-used. Wherever you have a ‘closed loop’ supply chain, we always suggest implementing the recyclability and re-use of dunnage bags.
The size of the dunnage bag depends on the void space between the cargo and the walls of the container. Measure the gaps accurately and choose a dunnage bag that can fill those voids when properly inflated. X-Pak can come to your site and conduct a free assessment to ecommend the best size bags for your cargo.
No. There are generally 5 or so different types of dunnage bag valves on the Australian market, each depending on the manufacturer. Some of the more common valves are interchangeable. If in doubt, contact X-Pak today to find out if your bags or inflation tools will fit an existing setup.
Although this is a common way to fill the void at the end of a container (between your product at the doors), from a load-restraint perspective, it’s not recommended. The main reason being due to the rating of dunnage bags not typically able to withstand the full force of a significant load shift in transit. To fill a large gap at the container doors, we’d suggest a container tarp or form of rated lashing system.
Yes, there are different types of dunnage bags designed for specific applications. For example, there are single or dual bags of different sizes, each addressing different void spaces within a container.
Typically, in one of two ways. Firstly, the traditional method of inflation is an air compressor. We provide gauged inflators that fit onto an air hose and can inflate container bags to a set pressure. The other alternative is a Portable Inflation or battery powered unit (like our Portable Air Master PAM). These are a fast, easy way to inflate your container airbags.
Dunnage bags range from a Level 0 dunnage bag right through to a Level 5 bag. Using the correct bag for your products and in the correct manner can help secure loads up to 30 tons inside a container. In almost every case, airbag failures or bursting is from using an incorrect product or a poor quality bag.
Yes, depending on minimum volumes and your specific requirements. There are situations where you may have an odd shaped product or large void to fill, for example, where you will require a specifically manufactured dunnage bag. The expert team at X-Pak will willingly be able to assist you, no matter the void you’re hoping to fill.
A dunnage bag can secure a load up to 30tonne.
The PAM inflates an average 80-90 dunnage bags per battery charge.
No – the PAM unit will inflate to a maximum of 1.2 PSI.
No
The Portable Air Master (PAM) units are designed to be used exclusively with X-Pak bags.
Yes when using a compressor, however you can never over inflate a dunnage bag when
using a Portable Air Master (PAM) unit.
Yes, they can however adequate protection needs to be used such as a core flute sheet in between the dunnage bag and sharp edge if necessary.
These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.
PET strapping, also known as polyester strapping or pet strap, is a high tensile plastic strapping designed for securing heavy palletised loads during road, rail and sea transport.
At X-Pak, our PET strapping is engineered for Australian conditions. It is used extensively across cotton gins, timber mills, hay exporters, brick manufacturers, mining suppliers and container packers who require consistent tension retention and compliance with the CTU Code and NHVR Load Restraint Guide.
It is commonly green to clearly distinguish it from lighter duty polypropylene strapping used for cartons and light bundling.
In most Australian industrial applications, yes.
High quality PET strapping delivers break strengths comparable to steel strapping while offering one critical advantage: elastic memory. If your load settles during transit, PET strap contracts and maintains tension. Steel does not. Once steel goes slack, the load is unsecured.
We regularly assist sites transitioning from steel to PET with no disruption to production. If you are unsure, we can review your current strap specification and confirm what break strength is actually required.
Steel strapping carries risk when cut under tension. Lash back injuries and sharp edge lacerations are well documented in warehouse environments.
PET strapping is safer to handle:
Polypropylene strapping is suited for:
PET strapping is suited for:
If your load is travelling by road, rail or sea, PET strapping is generally the correct specification. Using polypropylene strap on heavy loads often leads to stretch loss and pallet instability.
If you want clarity, we can assess your pallet weight, stacking pattern and transport method and recommend the correct strap width and break strength.
PET strapping is available in multiple widths and break strengths, typically ranging from approximately 530 kg to over 1350 kg.
The correct selection depends on:
Over specifying increases cost. Under specifying increases risk. There is often a simpler way to approach this than just choosing the thickest strap available.
We can calculate the appropriate specification for your operation and ensure it aligns with compliance requirements.
PET strapping can be applied using:
For high volume palletising, battery powered strapping tools significantly improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue.
X-Pak also offers a loan tool program to ensure zero downtime if your tool requires servicing. For manufacturing sites running continuous production, this removes a common operational risk.
Yes.
Polyester strapping, commonly known as PET strapping or pet strap, is recyclable when clean and separated from general waste.
At X-Pak, we support this through our unique StrapCycle program. StrapCycle is a practical, closed loop recovery solution designed for Australian manufacturers, exporters and freight operators using PET strapping in volume.
