The material, which is 99% air and absorbs shipping impact, is generated by feeding two rolls of high-strength film into the Airpad machine. The pads are automatically inflated, sealed in adjustable, tear-to-fit perforated sections and coiled into continuous rolls for ease of placement at packaging stations. The machine can change pad sizes every 30 sec.
