  • Patent number: 12330548
    Abstract: A dunnage bag may have stripes on its sides that extend from a top edge to a bottom edge of the bag. When the bag is inflated, one or more of the stripes may be visible to a user viewing an end of the bag. A number and width of stripes visible to a user may indicate a width of the dunnage bag, a corresponding width of the gap within which the bag is positioned, and an amount the bag that is in contact with surfaces of adjacent cargo. The user may note an outermost visible and determine that the bag has a width within a range of widths associated with such outermost visible stripe, and whether such width allows for the bag to be used safely. If a stop stripe is visible, the gap is too wide for the bag.
