Watch Standard and Easy-Tear Air Column Roll in Use
See how standard and easy-tear Air Column Roll is inflated, separated and used to wrap a bottle before carton packing. The standard version is cut with scissors in the demonstration, while the easy-tear version is separated by hand along the tear line.
The demonstration includes inflation before separation. Follow the instructions for your selected roll and compatible equipment.
What Is Air Column Roll?
Air Column Roll is inflatable cushioning supplied in roll form. Inflate the film, take the required section and arrange it around your product.
From Flat Roll to Inflated Cushioning
Uninflated rolls let you prepare cushioning at the packing station. Consider the flat roll dimensions, inflated coverage and available carton space when selecting a specification.
Air Column Wrap for Product Protection
Air Column Wrap describes the wrapping use of this material. This page covers it alongside Air Column Roll as roll-form cushioning prepared to the required packing length.
Choose Between Standard and Tear-Line Air Column Roll
Standard Air Column Roll
The standard version can be cut to the required packing length. The supplied demonstration shows scissors separating the inflated material, providing a reference for packing tasks with varying wrap lengths.
Confirm the cutting position and method to avoid cutting into columns you need to retain.
Tear-Line Air Column Roll
The tear-line version has predefined separation lines. In the demonstration, the material is separated by hand along a tear line. You can assess this option for repeated packing tasks that would otherwise require scissors for each section.
The tear-line spacing determines the available section lengths. Check whether each section covers your product, and confirm the available specifications and tear-line layout with KENT.
Choose Around Your Packing Process
Consider standard rolls when your required wrap length changes frequently. Assess tear-line rolls when you repeatedly pack products of similar dimensions.
Test both options in your packing process. The separation method alone does not establish overall packing speed or protection.

Key Features for Everyday Packing
Take the Length Your Pack Requires
Prepare material around your wrapping needs. Cut standard rolls at the confirmed positions or separate tear-line rolls along their predefined lines.
Arrange Cushioning Around Your Product
Use the inflated material to wrap your product. Check coverage at the sides, base and areas exposed to impact, and add other packing components where needed.
Store Uninflated and Inflate at the Packing Station
Store the rolls uninflated and prepare them during packing. When assessing workspace requirements, allow for the inflation equipment and temporary storage of inflated material.
How to Choose Air Column Roll
Match Product Dimensions and Wrapping Coverage
Provide the product's height, width and depth, or bottle diameter, and identify the areas requiring protection. Flat roll width alone does not determine the fit after inflation.
Assess Product Weight and Edges
Weight, sharp edges and protruding parts affect the packing arrangement. Check where the film contacts the product and add edge protection where needed.
Check the Complete Pack in Your Carton
Use your actual carton to check fit, product movement and clearance above, below and around the wrapped item. Assess shipping suitability using the complete pack.
How to Inflate and Use Air Column Wrap
Prepare the roll and equipment. Check compatibility, load the film and select settings according to the equipment instructions.
Inflate and inspect. Check the inflation condition and the section you intend to use. The supplied video demonstrates inflation before separation.
Take the required length. Cut the standard version as instructed, or separate the tear-line version along its predefined line.
Wrap and check the carton fit. Position the cushioning, check protruding parts and carton clearance, then complete any additional packing steps.
Confirm settings for your actual equipment and selected film rather than adopting pressure values shown in a video subtitle.
Air Column Roll Applications
Bottle Wrapping
The supplied footage shows bottle wrapping and carton packing. Use it as a reference when assessing similar products, while checking bottle height, body diameter, neck, closure and weight individually.
Packing Products of Different Sizes
Assess Air Column Roll when product dimensions vary and you need to adjust wrapping length. For sharp, heavy or unusually shaped items, check a sample and the complete pack before selecting the material.
Air Column Roll vs. Preformed Air Column Bags
Air Column Roll provides wrapping material taken to the required length, with cushioning positioned during packing. Preformed air column bags have a predefined bag structure and space for the product.
For repeated packing of a fixed product size, compare the fit of a preformed bag. When you need to vary wrapping length, assess a roll. The choice depends on product shape, handling and the complete packing arrangement.

Confirm Specifications and Samples with KENT
Send product photos, dimensions, weight, internal carton dimensions and your current packing method. Tell KENT whether you prefer standard or tear-line rolls.
Use this information to discuss roll specifications, separation methods and equipment requirements. Before placing a bulk order, check inflation, separation, wrapping and carton fit with a sample, then confirm the final order specification.
Air Column Roll FAQs
Are Air Column Roll and Air Column Wrap Different Products?
On this page, Air Column Roll describes the supply format and Air Column Wrap describes the wrapping use. They are covered together rather than on separate product pages.
What Is the Difference Between Standard and Tear-Line Rolls?
The main difference is how you separate the material. The supplied demonstration uses scissors for the standard version and hand separation along predefined tear lines for the tear-line version.
Can I Tear the Tear-Line Version at Any Length?
The tear-line layout determines the section lengths. Confirm the available spacing and check that each section meets your wrapping needs.
Should I Cut the Film Before or After Inflation?
The supplied video demonstrates inflation before separation. Confirm the sequence for your selected model and equipment; cutting before inflation is not a universal rule.
Can I Use Any Inflation Equipment?
Do not assume compatibility. Send the equipment model or photos so the air inlet, loading method and operating settings can be checked.
How Do I Choose the Roll Width?
Select around product dimensions, wrapping direction, inflated coverage and carton space. Confirm the fit with a packing sample.
What Information Do You Need for a Quote?
Send your preferred version, product photos and dimensions, weight, quantity, carton dimensions, equipment details and destination. For tear-line rolls, also state your required section length.
