Q-Type Air Column Bag

KENT supplies Q-type air column bags for protective packaging. Supplied flat for inflation when needed, they provide cushioning around your product. Standard film thickness is approximately 60 μm, with custom thickness available. Confirm bag fit and carton dimensions before ordering.

Choose a Q-Type Bag That Fits Your Product

The right bag should fit your product after inflation—not simply match its dimensions while flat. Share your product’s maximum dimensions, weight and photos so KENT can review the required bag size and cushioning coverage.

Check the bag opening, usable space and packed dimensions together. A sample fit check helps you assess whether the product can be inserted easily and whether the complete pack fits your carton.

Key Features

Product-Matched Fit

Select bag dimensions around your product’s shape and available carton space.

Inflatable Cushioning

Inflated air columns provide a cushioning layer between your product and the surrounding packaging.

Compact Before Inflation

Store bags flat and inflate them when needed at your packing station.

Custom Film Thickness

Start with the standard approximately 60 μm specification, or discuss a custom thickness.

Q-Type Air Column Bag Specifications

Use the following specifications as a starting point for your enquiry. Final dimensions and packing details should be recorded against the selected bag and confirmed sample.

Custom Options for Your Product and Carton

Bag Dimensions and Cushioning Coverage

Send your product drawing or measurements, including any protruding parts. We can review the required bag dimensions and discuss which areas need cushioning. Confirm the proposed fit with a sample before placing a bulk order.

Standard or Custom Thickness

Approximately 60 μm is the usual film thickness across our air column bag types. If your order requires a different thickness, send the specification for review. Thickness alone should not replace a check of product fit and the complete packaging arrangement.

Carton Fit and Packing Requirements

Share your carton’s internal dimensions and the number of products packed inside. Checking the inflated bag together with the carton helps identify space constraints before you finalise the order.

Flat Supply for Shipping and Storage

Q-type air column bags are supplied uninflated, so the cushioning volume is added at your packing location. Compared with storing the same bags already inflated, flat bags require less space.

For inbound packaging shipments, compact packing may help reduce volume-related freight costs. Actual savings depend on carton dimensions, order quantity and the carrier’s charging method. This does not automatically reduce the shipping cost of your finished product.

Inflation, Packing and Application Checks

Before using a new bag specification, confirm the inflation method and packing sequence with KENT. Follow the instructions for the selected bag rather than applying one pressure setting to every size.

For bottle packaging, check the widest body section, overall height and any cap or neck that projects beyond the main body. For other product shapes, provide photos and measurements for a fit review.

Evaluate the bag as part of the complete pack, including the outer carton. Where transit testing is required, use the actual product and final packaging configuration.

Confirm Your Packaging Specification with KENT

Start with Your Actual Product

Provide product dimensions, weight, carton details and your current packaging problem. These details give us a clearer basis for discussing a suitable Q-type bag than the product name alone.

Keep a Clear Reference for Repeat Orders

For repeat orders, refer to the confirmed bag dimensions, thickness specification, packing quantity and approved sample. If your product or carton changes, review the bag fit again before reordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 60 μm Thickness Specific to Q-Type Bags?

No. Approximately 60 μm is the usual film thickness across the air column bag types we supply. Bag shape and thickness are separate specifications.

Can I Order a Different Film Thickness?

Yes. Custom thickness is available. Send your required specification so it can be reviewed before quotation and order confirmation.

Will One Q-Type Bag Fit Every Bottle of the Same Capacity?

Not necessarily. Bottles with the same capacity can differ in diameter, height and shape. Choose by actual dimensions and sample fit, not capacity alone.

Can the Bag Replace an Outer Shipping Carton?

Do not assume it can. The bag provides cushioning, while the complete shipping pack must also address handling and transport requirements. Confirm the outer packaging for your application.

How Do I Choose Between Q-Type, L-Type and U-Type Bags?

Compare the actual opening, cushioning coverage and fit around your product. Send product photos and dimensions if you are unsure which format to choose.

What Determines the Minimum Order Quantity and Lead Time?

These should be confirmed for your selected dimensions, thickness, quantity and packing requirements. Request an order-specific quotation rather than relying on a general estimate.
