Samuel Grant Universal AIR|MAT™ products is a valued in-box protective solution across multiple industries/sectors and applications. From electronics and consumer goods to automotive and industrial engineering AIR|MAT™ has a proven track record.
The Challenge
Traditional solutions such as bubble wrap, low-grade air pillows, or foam sheeting fail to deliver a versatile and on-demand product that matches the high levels of impact resistance, puncture strength, and long-term reliability of our universal AIR|MAT™.
Clients across different sectors reported common issues:
- Damage rates due to weak or inconsistent cushioning materials (e.g., bubble wrap bursting under compression).
- Complexity of SKUs, with separate solutions needed for different product types and weights.
- Costly pack out inefficiency due to no poor standardisation and limited automation options.
- Poor sustainability credentials, as many market alternatives were non-recyclable, low in reuse potential or poor in their CO2 footprint.
- Storage inefficiencies, with bulky materials occupying valuable warehouse space
