Generic bagsThey're boring, but they're there. Bags without logos, even without printing of any kind, are an insult to the travelling public. Nevertheless, this site attempts to represent the full spectrum of chunder containers on offer. One would hope that the airline executives responsible for treating their passengers so callously will gain inspiration from the wealth of designs on this site, and will order a review of policy. Dare we say "and improve those airline meals too", to make barfbags less likely to be used to catch vomit and more likely to be admired for what they truly are: an artefact of our civilization? The bags on this page are ordered (as far as possible) by the bagmaker.

your bag. Use your right hand to put in solid litter, cans and cups. Do
not use your left hand to put in cigarettes or drinks. |

ACSA generic bag, with a plane on one side and a ship on the other. It says "Sickness bag" in English, German or French no less than 42 times. According to Daniel Kahleyss, this is: "...the standard ACS generic bag and is used by many airlines:
Faced with such a plethora of sources, I've no choice but to call this one "Generic". Looks like Hapag Lloyd now have a new bag all of their own, though. Thanks to Daniel for the lowdown, and Wolfgang Franken for the bag. (1999) |

ACS Products GünterLooks just like the bag above, and even more like Tempelhof
Express. But the bag maker's name in the side-pleat is slightly
different: A.C.S. Products H. J. Günter & Co. |

Generic 1Can't get much more boring than this plain white offering. Don't know
where it came from, either. The only distinguishing feature is that it's
crinkle-cut at the top. |

Generic 2White plastic, of the sort that wouldn't be worth collecting if it were
not for the nice drawstring at the top. This came from Fernando
Assis, who acquired it in a private Piper Navajo plane in Brazil. |

Papirus (blue)Made by Turkish bagmaker Papirus,
this bag features a cartoon plane, ship and bus zooming along. From
experience, I can tell you that travel sickness is much more likely on
Turkish buses than on any other form of transport known to humanity. Same
design as Anatolian Airlines,
but with a slightly lighter blue piece of paper glued to the base. |

T.O.P.More interesting than your average generic. This bag features four languages, each one matched against a little picture. It's a "Sickness bag" if you're on a ship, a "Spuckbeutel" aboard a plane, a "Sacchetto vomito" on a bus, and a "Sac vomitoire" if you puke in a pharmacy. Supplied by T.O.P.,
a hotel supplier in
Germany. |

WinpakBig boring bag that tells you how to fold it in English
and French, but doesn't tell you whose plane you're on. Or even whether
you're on a plane, ship, bus or train. How do I know it's made by Winpak?
Because they sent it to me. |
