MandalaLong, thin plastic bag with random dots: the sort that makes you squint if you stare at it too long trying to see a regular pattern. See Uzbekistan Airways for a similar idea in gold squiggles. "Putar disini ikat dengan kawat" is Indonesian for "Twist here and secure with wire". Actually, it should be "Putar di <space> sini dan ikat dengan kawat", but I guess they ran out of space. Thanks to Winny Sanjaya. (2000) |

Mandala (lower)Printed lower down on the bag. Acceptable variation or a different design? Hell, I say it's "optically different". Thanks to Winny Sanjaya. (2002) |

Mandala (boldface)The Mandala is now in bold -- helps you remember what plane you're on. Thanks to Riyatno. (2002) |

Mandala (purple)No logo on this (slightly smaller) bag. This same bag is also used by the Serayu ferry. Thanks to Riyatno. (2002) |

Mandala (clearer printing)The dots on the Mandala bags are, to be quite honest, sloppily printed. Here's one with much better graphics. Thanks to Riyatno. (2002) |

Mandala (clear printing, lower)Same good quality printing, but the pattern on the reverse is printed a full 5 cm lower down the bag. Thanks to Isye Arifiantini (2005) |

Mandala (finer dots)Beats me how Mandala can come up with so many variants on the same design. The pattern inside the dots is finer than on other bags - same printing plate, perhaps, but with less ink? Thanks to Adi Widjono. (2005) |

Mandala (flower)Halleluja, a new design from Mandala at long last! A very tastefully done flower has replaced all those migraine-inducing dots. Thanks to Isye Arifiantini (2008) |
