Air Width vs Void Size

Dunnage Air Bags

Recommended Air Bag Width vs. Void Size
Air Bag Width Maximum Void
24" 8"
30" 10"
36" 12"
48" 16"
60" 20"

3:1 Safety Factor

At maximum void size, the air bag still has a 50% or better contact area. Exceeding the maximum void may result in premature air bag failure.

When voids are greater that 24", use drop filter, honeycomb panels, etc. to reduce the void. You can also simply turn the pallets where you use an air bag ΒΌ turn.
