Duni

The Cutting Edge in Food Service Systems. Owners of the star logo found on huge numbers of bags throughout Europe. Another slogan is "Food for thought and taste for things to come" -- apt for airsickness bags, don't you think? 

DeSter has merged with ACS and Günter, two other major bagmakers.

Latest: In a massive bagmaking merger, Swedish firm Duni ("We enhance any eating or drinking occasion") has taken over baglomerate DeSter.ACS.

"Duni’s Travel Division was created at the beginning of 2000 through the integration of the three best known names in its market: De Ster, Günter ACS and Duni Inflight", says the glitzy Duni website.

"Backed by 40 years’ experience, DeSter.ACS serves more than 350 airline companies worldwide, as well as other Travel organisations and suppliers like railway companies, ferries, food processors and caterers."

I searched the Duni site for the words "airsickness", "barfbag", "motion discomfort" and "puke". In vain. Looks like bags are not a leading product for the airline catering market. 

Looks like Duni is keeping the De Ster brandname and logo so beloved by bag patrons worldwide.

ELAG

The whole world needs bags. We make them. "Bags are booming" says this site. "How your product is packed is very important to you - and to us... And because the significance of packaging in today's market is greater than ever before, we'd like to be your partner in providing the best packaging solutions with our innovative ideas." 

I think that airsickness bags must fall into their "stand-up pouches" category: "possible applications: as refill packaging... for liquids, granules, powders and pastes ... for aggressive contents".

ELAG's bags are generally flat-based so they can stand up on the floor and avoid spillage. Make sure you hand them to a member of the cabin crew before the plane goes into a dive, though.
