Some examples include a plurality of inflatable units that may be secured to an item as packaging to protect the item during transport or other shipping. The inflatable units may be inflated to a threshold pressure and placed at the corners of the item to be transported. In some cases, prior to placement of the inflatable units at the corners of the item, beams may be placed between the inflatable units that will serve as the bottom inflatable units. Straps may be used to secure the inflatable units against the item, and the packaged item may be transported to a destination. Upon receipt of the shipped item, the recipient may remove the inflatable units from the corners of the item, deflate the inflatable units, and send the inflatable units and the straps back to the sender, who may reuse the inflatable units and the straps.
