An air-packing device has an improved shock absorbing capability to
protect a product in a container box. The air-packing device is comprised
of first and second thermoplastic films where predetermined portions are
bonded thereby creating a plurality of air containers, a plurality of
heat-seal lands each sealing the first and second thermoplastic films in
a small area of the air container thereby creating a plurality of series
connected air cells for each air container, a plurality of check valves
for corresponding air containers for allowing the compressed air to flow
in a forward direction, and at least one pocket formed of a sheet of
thermoplastic film bonded to either the first thermoplastic film or the
second thermoplatic film at boundaries between two adjacent air
containers. The air-packing device is folded after the product is
inserted in the pocket and installed in a container box.
