The Best Uses for Dunnage Bags

WALHALLA, S.C. - Feb. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Dunnage bags are used in a number of applications. They only become useful when inflated; therefore, it is important to know how to fill them up with air in the correct procedure. They can be filled up with an inflation gun, which can be provided upon their purchase. A tip that enables the inflation should be attached by slightly applying pressure down on the valve. The bag is supposed to be held in place until the pressure build up is noticed, as it will start stabilizing the load upon inflation. The bag should be inflated until the cargo or consignment is constrained against its sides as a result of the pressure of the bags. Once the bags are filled with air, their positions should not be changed. It is also vital to ensure that the maximum pressure is not surpassed; it can be checked on the details provided by the manual or on the bag itself.

As stated above, there are a number of applications of the dunnage bags. The first use is as a mechanism engaged so as to prevent loads in shipment containers from shifting during their transit either by road, railway lines, or the marine vessels.  This is because they have a very impressive capacity of stabilizing the load due to their ability to withstand high pressure and to resist shifting of the cargo. This shifting can lead to imbalance of the container, which might even make it cause instability of the transportation; therefore, they also enhance safety of the package in transit.

Another application of the dunnage bags is the reduction of product damage. The cargo’s destruction is prevented because they are kept stable and stationary. The misalignment of goods or even constant shifting and shaking might cause severe breakages of the goods that are being transported. It can also be noted that the bags also provide an adequate means of absorption of shock during transit. Their other important application is the repositioning of the load and creation of forces of bulkhead that prevent the alteration of the position of the package.

The dunnage bags have relatively high advantages to the users that employ them in various applications. One of their merits is their safety. They are 100 % leak proof as they have undergone intense standard and ISO certification tests. They are also completely cost effective since they are very cheap and in some cases, they can even be reused although it might sometimes not be recommended. The bags have complete resilience towards water and are impervious to moisture.

Dunnage bags are very light and absolutely easy to handle with an added advantage of compactness therefore consuming very little space. Another very significant value of these bags is that are environmental friendly as they are cleverly contrived from downright recyclable material. In addition, they are products that are highly flexible as they can fill any shape or uneven space without negatively affecting the freight.

However, the dunnage bags should never be brought into close contact with sharp, pointed, or spiky surfaces, as they will be punctured. If they collapse, they can no longer serve their purpose.
