Dunnage Bags
What is the dunnage bag
During the transit the cargo is subject to several forces. When the content of the truck / container / wagon is not 100% compact and has empty spaces it is possible to get a serious damage.
The dunnage bag is an airbag that is used to protect and stabilize the cargo, by filling in the spaces between the packaging.
Vrontos.com is cooperating with INTERNATIONAL DUNNAGE, which produces very robust dunnage bags made by Polypropylene and Polyethylene (instead of paper).
