GGD,
As someone who runs a warehouse, I can say without a doubt, plastic packets filled with air are quite handy. Great for box filler since they take up space without adding nearly as much additional as crumpled paper, packing peanuts, Styrofoam, etc. If the person who owns the patent/etc is smiling, it's with good reason.

I always wondered how they ship that stuff in bulk. Seems like it could be quite large. And do they throw some extra scraps in the box to protect it during shipping, or maybe they use peanuts?
They should also sell helium filled ones to reduce shipping weight and save you money. And they dispose of themselves when you open the box.
