A dunnaging apparatus and method for controlling web tension are provided. The apparatus includes a frame that is configured to support at least one supply of a web of paper having a continuous length and a width. A paper forming device is configured to receive the web of paper in a substantially flat configuration and fold the web along at least one line extending generally along the length of the web to form a paper cushion of reduced width. At least one roller is rotatably mounted on the frame and configured to support the web of paper between the supply and the forming device. The roller is formed at least partially of foam so that an outer surface of the roller is elastically deformable and the roller is configured to provide a nonuniform cross-sectional shape across the width of the web according to variations in the tension in the web across the width of the web.

An inflatable cushioning article is made from a multilayer film having a seal layer, a gas barrier layer, and a tie layer adhering the seal layer to the gas barrier layer. The cushioning article has a plurality of inflatable chambers, with each of the chambers having a plurality of cells connected in series to one another via inflation channels. Although the inflatable article can be made from relatively thin films, the article exhibits a relatively high burst pressure and can be inflated to, for example 3 psi, and withstand conditions such as 140° F. and high altitude, without film delamination, seal failure, or film rupture. Preferably, the tie layer comprises an anhydride modified polyolefin having an anhydride content of at least 150 ppm.
