Protect your cargo with dunnage bags from FROMM Packaging Australia.
When it comes to shipping goods, protecting your cargo is essential. One of the biggest risks during transport is load shift. If your cargo isn't packed properly, it can move in transit and cause damage. Even minor damage can affect the value of your product by impacting its presentation. That's why it's important to use the right tools to secure your cargo during shipping.
At FROMM, we offer a variety of solutions to help protect your cargo during transport. One of our most popular products is the Bates Dunnage Bag, an inflatable bag that fills the voids in your cargo to eliminate the risk of load shift.
Our Dunnage Bags
What Are Dunnage Bags?
Dunnage bags are giant inflatable pillows designed to fill the voids in your cargo during shipping. They are made from strong, recyclable materials and are available in a range of sizes and strengths to suit your needs.
Dunnage bags are easy to use and can be quickly inflated using compressed air. Once inflated, they create a pillow of air that cushions your cargo and prevents it from shifting during transport. This ensures that your cargo remains safeguarded from damage, maintaining its quality during the entire transportation journey until it reaches its final destination.

Bates Dunnage Bags are easy to position and fast to inflate. They come in a range of sizes to suit your cargo, and can be used in conjunction with other packing materials to provide extra protection. Once inflated, the bags create a firm cushion of air that prevents your cargo from shifting during transport.

The size of the dunnage bag required depends on your cargo dimensions, weight, and the void spaces between items. Typically, sizes range from small (60cm × 90cm) to large (120 cm × 240 cm). Measure the void space carefully and select a bag that fits snugly when inflated.
Inflate dunnage bags using compressed air and a specialised inflator tool. Insert the inflator securely into the bag valve and inflate until firm but not overly rigid. Recommended inflation pressures usually range from 2 to 3 psi. Avoid over inflation, as it may damage cargo or the bag itself.
Reusable dunnage bags, such as the Bates Cargo Pak, Reusable Dunnage Bags, are designed for multiple uses. They feature a patented valve system that allows for inflation and deflation up to 25 times, depending on cargo type and handling. These bags are ideal for intercompany movements and interstate transportation, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for securing cargo during transit. After each use, the bags can be deflated, folded, and stored for future use.
Kraft paper dunnage bags are economical and suitable for dry environments or single-use scenarios. Polypropylene dunnage bags are stronger, moisture-resistant, and recommended for heavier loads or shipments exposed to humidity or harsh environments. Choose according to your shipment's conditions and requirements.
Yes. Always ensure cargo edges that come in contact with dunnage bags are not sharp or abrasive, as these can puncture the bag. Inflate bags only after cargo is fully loaded. Always position dunnage bags correctly between cargo items, and periodically inspect for damage during transit, particularly for longer shipments or harsh transportation conditions.
Moisture inside international shipping containers is an age old problem. Because of our location on the globe, much of Australia’s exports cross the equator, meaning high temperature, high humidity on the oceans of the world. Conditions at sea can create “container rain” inside shipping containers, which damages important export cargo.
