A modern Chinese Clean Bag: "This may be used for
waste or airsickness". It's "water proofed", too. And it has a
"folding bar" on the back to keep the remains of your fried rice
in the bag. Thanks to Fulvio Dossena. (2002) |

Same design as the bag above, but in even darker ink. It
came from a flight from Yunnan to Beijing. Bruce Kelly says this and the
bag above are both from China Southern. Who am I to disbelieve him? Thanks to Scott Killough.

It's a mystery to me why airline printers can't keep a copy of their
printing plates so they can reprint bags easily. Then they wouldn't have to
retypeset every time the customer runs out of bags. But it would make
bag-collecting a lot less interesting, wouldn't it?

The tear-off strip is now easier to spot, saving precious time during an
emergency.

It's the "Water-Proofed" that's in larger type. Correctly spelled, too!

There's some text in Arabic script (it says
پاکٮز خالتا - could it be Uighur?) above the Chinese
on this bag. Plus, there's the name of the airline in giant Chinese
characters in the gusset, along with the item number of the bag
(13837195550) in case you want to order some more.
Thanks to Rüdiger Breuer. (2006) |

The only bag I know that claims it's made in a website:
http://www.czair.com (which turns out to
be the site of Chaozhou Air Articles.
And it's "airsick ness" according to this bag.

Made by a manufacturer whose logo appears to be a heart on a pillow, or
perhaps one of those cumulus clouds that the BBC used to use in their
weather forecasts. Their phone number is 0556-5316606; fax 0556-5316596 -
but remember that you're not supposed to use your phone until you're inside
the terminal. And who has a fax machine on board a plane?

Yet another variation on the theme: this bag was made in the czair.com
website, but has a smaller tear-off arrow.
