An inflatable air cushion is a bag of fabric or plastic that can be inflated to provide cushioning. Unlike Bubble Wrap, inflatable air cushions have a check valve to allow the cushion to be inflated or deflated.

After looking into the question some more, I think the correct term is "dunnage air bag"

Air bags (Also known as Dunnage Bags) are the most economical and reliable means of securing your load in your truck trailer, rail car, sea container or vessel.
The purpose of the dunnage air bag is to reduce the shifting of the loads occurring during transport which will enhance customer satisfaction because of no damage or returned goods.

Cargo damage in transport process is mainly caused by cargoes' displacement & impact when the cargoes are not fixed effectively. Using Dunnage Air Bag can prevent cargo damage in the container transportation by sea,rail and truck.
On filling up the gap after air-inflation, Dunnage Air Bag can brace cargoes, absorb vibration, avoid cargoes' displacement & impact, and protect cargoes from damage during transport process.
Zerpo’s Dunnage Air Bag is composed by outer shell & inner bladder. The outer shell is made of smooth & firm lamination material of PP woven cloth and kraft paper. The inner bladder is the multi-layer LDPE which has good performance on extensibility, air-tight & puncture-resistance. The reusable anti-backflow valve ensures Dunnage Air Bag's rapid inflating & deflating.
