air pillows

Blown-up head rests

Air pillows are inflatable plastic pouches used as packing material to cushion items during shipping.

They protect fragile goods while adding minimal weight, and take up less storage space than foam peanuts or bubble wrap before inflation.

The box was stuffed with air pillows to keep the vase from shifting.
