Using air bags for load securement helps to decrease the expense of shipping while increasing efficiency
When it comes to product shipping, many manufacturers worry about the product’s packaging and potential damage rates right up until the pallet leaves their stretch wrapping area. But, there is still a long way 
to go before it reaches its final destination, and most of that time is spent in the most dangerous aspect of its journey: transportation. Transit is the part of the journey where significant damage can occur, if not properly managed. The longer a product is on the road, the more likely it is to be damaged.
Material handling accounts for a great deal of the total cost of the product. Consider the cost of labor when it comes to loading and unloading the trailer. Add in the cost of the sheer amount of materials you’re using to try to eliminate potential damage. Plus the cost of potential worker injuries because of shifted pallets or the cost of the idle time of your trucks during the loading and unloading process. It’s actually estimated that more than 50% of the cost of a product is material handling, including receiving, inspection, storage, packaging, packing, and shipping.
