The cushioning element is formed of two plastics film webs (1, 2) superimposed on one another and connected together by means of first weld seams (3) and second weld seams (4). Two mutually adjacent first weld seams (3) and second weld seams (4) form in each case a chamber which, during the production process of the cushioning element, can be filled partly or fully with air or left unfilled, as required. In this manner, cushioning elements of which the shape can be individually adapted to an article (6) to be packaged can be produced. Preferably the cushioning element is provided for surrounding an article (6) to be packaged on at least three sides and, similar to a book cover, comprises a top side (7), a spine (9) and a bottom side (8). The cushioning element has the advantages that the advantages of moulded packaging parts can be obtained for a very small amount of material, the disposal being possible in an extremely small space by cutting open the air-filled chambers. Since it is provided to produce the cushioning elements, preferably at the frequency at which they are used, using an apparatus installed near to the place of use, the space requirement for the packaging material is practically negligible. <IMAGE> |
