Rethinking Protection: Why Airworks SoftLayer is the Smarter Alternative to Bubble Wrap

September 12, 2025

At Severn Packaging, we know that packaging isn’t just about filling empty spaces—it’s about protecting your products while keeping operations efficient. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Airworks SoftLayer, our innovative alternative to traditional bubble wrap rolls.

Maximise Floor Space with Smarter Storage

One of the biggest challenges with traditional bubble wrap is bulk. A standard roll typically contains just 50 metres of material, taking up significant storage space while offering limited output. In contrast, an uninflated roll of Airworks SoftLayer contains a massive 500 metres—that’s 10 times more material per roll.

Because the rolls are stored flat and only inflated when needed, you free up valuable warehouse and packing station space. That means less clutter, easier handling, and improved efficiency.

Inflate on Demand, Reduce Waste

With bubble wrap, what you see is what you store—and what you waste if unused. Airworks SoftLayer is designed differently. The material remains compact until it’s inflated, so you only create the cushioning you need, when you need it. This “inflate-on-demand” feature not only reduces waste but also gives you total flexibility in packaging operations.

Superior Protection by Design

Airworks SoftLayer isn’t just efficient—it’s engineered for protection. Thanks to its innovative layered design, it offers superior cushioning and impact resistance compared to conventional bubble wrap. Your products are better shielded from shocks, vibrations, and pressure, ensuring they arrive safely in perfect condition.

Seamless Integration with the Airworks System

Airworks SoftLayer is designed to work hand-in-hand with the award-winning Airworks System. This compact, operator-friendly machine makes inflating packaging material quick and simple. With its intuitive interface, staff can start and stop production effortlessly, ensuring the right amount of packaging is always available on demand.

The system is also built with very few wearable parts, meaning less downtime, lower maintenance costs, and long-term reliability—keeping your packing line running smoothly day after day.

The Smarter, Sustainable Choice

By switching to Airworks SoftLayer and the Airworks System, you’re not just improving efficiency—you’re making a smarter choice for your business and the environment. Less bulk in transport and storage means fewer deliveries, reduced handling, and a lighter carbon footprint.
