Made of 100% recyclable materials, our Shippers Zebra kraft dunnage airbags are manufactured in the US to help provide quality and shorter lead times. They are reusable up to four times for light over-the-road shipments and have been thoroughly tested and verified by the Association of American Railroads. Available in levels 1-4, Abrasion Resistant (AR) and Sewn End (SE), Zebra paper airbags have innovative zebra stripes to provide ease of installation to match specific voids. The Zebra’s Double End Fold (DEF) Level 1 airbag seams are glued using beads of adhesive glue, and a special folding procedure is used on our Level 2-4 airbags, resulting in stronger end seams. All of our paper airbags are made in a variety of stock and made-to-order sizes. For further details, contact us today.
The lightweight kraft dunnage airbag is one of the most popular airbags on the market. Airbag ends are double end folded (DEF) and sealed with beads of adhesive, resulting in a stronger airbag that provides simple yet effective damage prevention.
Additionally, this kraft dunnage air bag is verified by the Association of American Railroads (AAR), which makes them ideal for use in over-the-road (OTR), Intermodal, and multi-transport mode loads.
Used with our Superflow or Mobile Air Series inflators, airbag inflation and deflation is quick and easy. In light OTR shipments, the lightweight Zebra can be used up to four times.
Load capacity: less than 45,000 lbs
AAR verified: Yes
Max PSI: 3.0
Modes of transport used: Truck, Intermodal, Sea Container
The heavyweight kraft dunnage airbags can brace the heaviest of loads, up to 205,000lbs. Multiple layers of strong kraft paper help provide extra strength and rigidity. Its ability to “lock the load” in place against the sidewalls, means it decreases side to side, up/down, and vibration of loads during transport.
The rigidity of the Zebra heavyweight paper airbag makes installation easier, helping to reduce loader fatigue.
Used with our Digital Inflator and TX Inflator this inflator firmly locks on the airbag valve guaranteeing a secure connection during inflation.

Made of rigid kraft paper, Zebra abrasion resistant airbags “stand up” in voids. This provides easy slide-in installation, especially convenient when working with tall or long voids. Textured kraft material “grips” the sides of the load, which prevents loads from shifting during transport.
Our Sewn End dunnage airbags have no glued ends. Instead, SE dunnage bags stitch a reinforced layer of kraft paper on the ends to increase airbag strength. This stitching has more flexibility than glue, allowing the airbag to stretch and hold its shape in the void.
Inflation and deflation is quick and easy when using our Superflow and Mobile Air Series inflators for this style airbag.

Shippers polywoven airbags are made from a durable polywoven dunnage material that is naturally moisture resistant; a popular choice when shipping in damp or humid environments. Made in a variety of sizes and strengths, these airbags can provide transit protection for a wide range of products, including light and heavy loads. They are reusable up to four times for light over-the-road shipments and have been thoroughly tested and verified by the Association of American Railroads.
Gorilla lightweight dunnage airbags are made with strong polywoven fibers that "lock the load" in place against the sidewalls, providing optimal support for up and down and side-to-side motion.
Used with our Superflow or Mobile Air Series inflators, airbag inflation and deflation is quick and easy. Reusable up to 4 times for light over-the-road shipments. We manufacture a large selection of stock and made to order sizes.

With its square shape, Shippers Products HIPPO airbags are designed to brace loads with void spaces greater than 12 inches. This reduces the need to use bulky corrugated dunnage to brace your loads and allows you to save valuable warehouse space.
The HIPPO bag is designed to support more product per square inch than oval shaped dunnage bags which is perfect for bracing loads with a reduced amount of secondary packaging. Strong polywoven fibers literally “lock the load” in place against the sidewalls, providing optimal support for up and down and side-to-side motion.
Used with the SuperFlow Inflation System, these inflators offer unparalleled inflation speed that significantly reduces loading time
