Air Column Bag, as an innovative cushioning packaging material, is widely used in the packaging and transportation of fragile items such as electronic products, home appliances, and cosmetics due to its superior protective performance and environmental characteristics. However, correct operation and use of Air Column Bag is key to ensuring it provides optimal protection. This article will introduce the operational steps, precautions, and storage methods of the Air Column Bag to help users better utilize this efficient packaging material.
Correctly operating the Air Column Bag ensures the safety of items during transportation and reduces the risk of damage. Here is the standard Air Column Bag operation process:
Determine size, select the appropriate specification: Before using the Air Column Bag, first select the correct specification based on the size of the item to be packaged. Ensure the Air Column Bag is laid flat and prepared for the next step.
Gently place the item: Gently place the item to be packaged into the Air Column Bag, adjust the item's position so that it is close to the edge of the bag, reducing internal gaps to enhance cushioning effect.
Connect the inflation port: Find the inflation port of the Air Column Bag and ensure that the inflation nozzle of the inflation device is tightly connected to the port to prevent air leakage during inflation.
Inflation operation: Start inflating until the air columns inside the Air Column Bag are fully inflated and evenly distributed. Pay attention to the fullness of the air columns during inflation to avoid over-inflating and causing the columns to burst.
Close the air valve and seal the bag mouth: After inflation is complete, promptly close the air valve, tuck away the excess corners of the Air Column Bag, and seal the bag mouth tightly to ensure the packaging is airtight.
Check item stability: Lift the packaged item and observe if the Air Column Bag has any collapsing phenomenon. If there are issues, re-inflate until balance is achieved.
When using an Air Column Bag, the following precautions can help ensure packaging effectiveness and extend the lifespan of the Air Column Bag:
Keep the operation environment clean: Ensure the environment is clean during operation to avoid dust, impurities, etc. from entering the Air Column Bag or adhering to the surface, which can affect the seal and cushioning effect.
Avoid sharp objects: Avoid contact with sharp objects during packaging and operation to prevent piercing the Air Column Bag, resulting in air leakage or cushioning failure. Additionally, do not excessively pull or squeeze the Air Column Bag to avoid damage.
Use appropriate inflation equipment: Choose suitable inflation equipment to ensure the air columns are evenly and fully distributed during inflation. After inflating, check if there is any air leakage or under-inflation in the Air Column Bag.
Avoid noise issues: If the Air Column Bag is not used correctly during inflation, it may cause noise issues, affecting the effectiveness of the packaging equipment. Therefore, pay close attention to the inflation effect during operation to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Avoid long-term exposure to sunlight: The Air Column Bag should not be exposed to strong sunlight for long periods as UV rays accelerate material aging, reducing its lifespan and cushioning effect. Store the Air Column Bag in a dry, ventilated, and cool place, avoiding moisture, high temperatures, and chemical substances.
Avoid stacking too high or placing heavy objects on them to prevent damage to the Air Column Bag. Finally, regularly check for air leakage to ensure the integrity of the Air Column Bag. Prevent corrosion due to accidental contact with preservatives, rendering the bags unusable.
