Salazar Packaging, Inc. Introduces Exclusive Line of Recycled and Recyclable Inflatable Air Pillow Void Fill Cushioning

Plainfield, IL (PRWEB) July 22, 2008 -- Inflatable air pillows are a proven void fill winner in terms of cost, efficiency, cleanliness, and quality. Until now, however, there has been one major drawback -- they are traditionally made with a high percentage of virgin polyethylene plastic resin. Salazar Packaging, Inc. (http://www.salazarpackaging.com), a distributor of packaging materials and equipment with a focus on sustainable packaging, today introduced its exclusive line of air pillow cushioning, Globe Guard? Inflatable Air Pillows, made from 100% recycled plastic material. Shippers now have an inflatable option that combines price, performance, and environmental responsibility.

"Since introducing our Globe Guard 100% recycled content (PCW) boxes, we have been inundated with requests for an environmentally friendly inflatable product," said company president, Dennis Salazar. "We worked hard and long with our partner, Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. (APS), to develop a 100% recycled material that would meet every performance expectation and run perfectly through their equipment."

APS (www.autobag.com), is the packaging industry's leading manufacturer of packaging, bagging, and pouching systems, and is known worldwide as the inventor of Autobag® bagging machines and pre-opened bags. The firm's inflatable systems are highly regarded for their simplicity, reliability, and stout construction. Salazar Packaging will sell Globe Guard air pillows in conjunction with the complete line of APS void fill systems.

Each air pillow is light green and imprinted with the Globe Guard logo and the words, "100% recycled". "The environmental message is quite important," said Salazar. "Today it is critical that your eco message is clear, obvious and consistent to your customer receiving and opening your box. Our Globe Guard void fill and our Globe Guard boxes make it easy for our customers to accomplish those goals."

Inflatable air pillows offer dramatic functional advantages over other void fill materials. Besides having an extremely low unit cost, they reduce inbound and outbound transportation cost and require very little floor storage space, unlike bulky loose fill "peanuts", bubble material, and packaging foams. Salazar observed, "When you add eco-friendly to the mix, Globe Guard? just might be the perfect void fill."

You packed up the truck, checked over your gear, and headed out into the outdoors for a great weekend or week of camping. Then it hits you: was it the lantern? The fishing tackle?

Maybe you have twenty different flashlights from twenty different trips, and you didn?t remember to put one of them in your truck. Whatever that one thing is, it may surely get left behind unless you plan ahead.
