Entry Description

The traditional way of packing products for shipping involves a lot of non-degradable materials and causes pollution to the environment. 'INFLATAGE' is an inflatable package that provides a brand new way to pack and unpack items. When it’s not used, it is just a bit thicker than a shipping envelope. There are layers on each side of the bag into which air can be pumped in to protect and support the product inside. Users take out the product by deflating the package from the valve and opening the rubber zipper. The body is made from bio-plastic and can be reused for many times.
