Buy PP dunnage bags from the manufacturer: Dunnage bags made of polypropylene (PP) tape fabric

Dunnage bags, consisting of an outer skin made of PP tape fabric and an inner bladder made of LDPE film, are one of our main products. We have been continuously developing this product for many years. Our subsidiary Etap Packaging is the producer of thesedunnage bags. Thanks to this constellation, we are able to offer top conditions that are only possible if you buy dunnage bags directly from the manufacturer. Furthermore, we can offer completely customised dimensions and solutions (e.g. special cuboid 3D dunnage bags or dunnage bags that cover the entire width of the container).

In terms of quality, we are superior to most of our competitors. For example, each individual dunnage bag valve is tested for density before installation. Furthermore, only we use a special mixture of inner film that remains permanently tight. These and other measures result in a leakage rate of well under 1% . Our competitors work with error rates and tolerances of between 5-7%. The quality of our dunnage bags is regularly checked and confirmed by the AAR (American Association of Railroads). Our dunnage bags are available in various strengths (levels 1-5) for a wide range of load weights.

The safe transport of goods is a decisive factor in modern logistics and international goods transport. PP dunnage bags (polypropylene dunnage bags) play a central role in this. They ensure the stability of the load and prevent movement during transport. Thanks to their robust structure, PP dunnage bags offer a reliable solution for securing loads in containers, on lorries, ships and railways. Compared to other materials such as paper or PE, polypropylene dunnage bags are characterised by their particular strength and reusability, making them the ideal choice for companies.

What are PP dunnage

bags?PP dunnage bags (polypropylene dunnage bags) are specially developed air cushions that are used in logistics to secure loads. They consist of a robust outer layer made of polypropylene (PP), a durable and resistant plastic, and an inner bladder, which is usually made of LDPE (low-density polyethylene). These dunnage bags are placed between cargo units to secure them during transport and prevent movement. By filling them with air, they adapt flexibly to the gaps and optimally stabilise the cargo. Compared to other materials such as paper dunnage bags, PP dunnage bags offer greater resistance to moisture and mechanical loads.

How PP dunnage bags workPP dunnage bags

work according to a simple but effective principle: they are placed in the gaps between cargo units and filled with air to stabilise the goods during transport. The air pressure causes the dunnage bag to adapt precisely to the gap, preventing the load from moving or shifting. The outer material made of polypropylene offers protection against external influences such as moisture or mechanical loads. This simple method of load securing increases safety and protects the goods from damage.

Different types of PP dunnage bagsPP dunnage bags

are available in various designs to meet different transport requirements. The most common variants include ECO dunnage bags and those categorised from level 1 to level 5 , depending on the required load capacity and area of application. Choosing the right dunnage bags depends on the type and size of the load to be secured. ECO dunnage bags are suitable for lighter applications, while Level 5 dunnage bags have been developed for heavy loads and more demanding transport conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About PP Dunnage Bags

Below you will find important questions and answers about PP dunnage bags, polypropylene inflatable dunnage bags, and their use in professional cargo securing.

What are PP dunnage bags?

PP dunnage bags are inflatable cushions used to secure cargo. They are placed in gaps between pallets, crates, machinery, or other cargo units and inflated with air. This stabilizes the load and helps prevent it from shifting, tipping over, or being damaged during transport.

What are PP dunnage bags made of?

PP dunnage bags typically consist of a durable outer shell made of woven polypropylene and an airtight inner liner made of polyethylene (PE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The PP outer layer protects against mechanical stress, moisture, and external influences, while the inner liner retains the air inside the bag.

What are PP dunnage bags used for?

PP dunnage bags are used to secure cargo by filling empty spaces in shipping containers, trucks, rail wagons, and sea freight shipments. They are particularly suitable for filling gaps between cargo units and help reduce movement caused by braking, cornering, vibrations, or rough seas.

What are the advantages of PP dunnage bags compared to paper dunnage bags?

PP dunnage bags are particularly resistant to moisture, salt-laden air, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Compared to paper dunnage bags, they are more durable and can often be reused. This makes them particularly suitable for demanding transport conditions and recurring logistics operations.

Are PP dunnage bags reusable?

Yes, many PP dunnage bags can be reused, provided they remain undamaged after use. Once unloading is complete, the air is released, the bag is inspected, stored in a dry place, and reused when needed. Before each reuse, check that the valve, outer shell, and inner liner are intact.
