Paper Airsickness Bag
Seat-pocket airsickness bag in leak-resistant coated kraft paper, fully customisable to airline livery and closure preference.
The Avio-Pack Paper Airsickness Bag is a single-use, seat-pocket motion-sickness receptacle manufactured from kraft or offset paper with a polyethylene (PE) or PLA inner film coating. The PE or PLA layer creates a liquid-resistant barrier across the bag interior, preventing saturation and leakage through the paper wall — the primary functional requirement for this product class. The outer paper shell provides sufficient rigidity for one-handed deployment in a turbulent environment and sits flat enough to fit inside the shallow seat-pocket compartments of economy and premium cabin seat designs. The bag is available in two base constructions: a rectangular block bottom, which self-stands when placed on a surface, or a V-bottom (gusset) bottom for slimmer seat-pocket profiles. Closure options include a vertical or horizontal metal clip that folds over the bag opening after use to contain odour and prevent spillage during cabin waste collection. Printed graphics are fully customisable — most airlines use the airsickness bag surface for branded messaging, safety information, or advertising, making the specification of print process (offset or flexographic) and minimum order quantity relevant procurement considerations. For GCC and Middle Eastern carriers operating mixed long- and short-haul routes, the paper construction aligns with growing single-use plastic reduction commitments: PLA-film variants are industrially compostable, offering an environmental alternative to standard PE-coated paper. Avio-Pack manufactures the bags at its Taizhou facility with certifications that cover food-contact paper standards, supporting compliance with airline catering supplier qualification requirements.
