Applications

The Airpad mats are superior thanks to the high impact absorption capacity of each separate Airpad element. A single pad can withstand an impact of over 1000 N, depending on the film used.

Your goods are excellently protected against shock and other impacts. These characteristics also apply for delicate items without the use of any further packaging material.

The range of pad sizes lets you efficiently customize your packaging operation. This system has been proven effective for any type of shipment and transportation.
