CairgoBag inflating systems
Which inflating system to use depends on the demands of the user.
If, for example, you don't want to re-use the dunnage bag, but it needs to inflate very fast; then the FastFill system is suitable for you.
CairgoBag materials
The materials that Cairgo uses to manufacture the bags are the best you can get. Each material has its own specifications.
| Paper | Paper bags are made of high-quality moisture resistant Kraft paper and have a polyethylene (PE) inner liner that holds the air. |
| Poly-woven | Poly-woven is a new material in the dunnage bag industry. It is a strong and long-lasting material, that is weatherproof resistant and has a excellent resistance to harsh chemical environments. Ideal for the reusable dunnage bags. |
Paper Bags
Paper bags are available with several inflating systems, finishing's and in different strengths, also called ply's. The paper bags consist of three basic parts. The outer kraft paper, the inner polyethylene bladder and the valve. The paper bags are ideal for one-time use, because they are recyclable.
CairgoBag dunnage bags consist of three basic parts. The outer kraft paper liner, the inner polyethylene (RE) bladder and the valve. Once the paper liner and PE bladder are separated, they can be recycled and only the valve must be thrown away.
Ply
The paper dunnage bags are available in several strengths. The strength depends on the number of layers or ply's.
The more layers, the stronger the bag is. Each ply has a maximum inflation, indicated by PSI.
Finishing
The finishing indicates the way the dunnage bags are closed up at the bottom. The paper bags have several finishings as you can see on the right.
Poly-woven Bags
Poly-woven is a new material in the dunnage bag industry. It is a strong and long-lasting material, that is water resistant and thus ideal for the reusable dunnage bags.
The poly-woven bags are available with different valves but all have the same finishing; namely a sewn end.
Level
The poly-woven dunnage bags are available in several strengths also called levels. The strength depends on the number of grams per square metre. The coloured stripe on the bag indicates which level it is.
Finishing
As indicated in the text above, the poly-woven bags are only available with the SE finishing.

CairgoBag specials
Cairgo also has some special dunnage bags for specific applications.
AR abrasion resistant
These bags are manufactured with Kraft linear board. Because of this the bag easily slides into narrow voids and literally stands up in a void making installation and inflation much simpler. Furthermore because of the material, the bag stays strong and intact.
