A working air cargo label from Air Continental Ltd, printed in blue on a pale ground. A stylised bird-like wing mark sits beside the company name, AIR CARGO runs across in large outlined capitals, and below are ruled boxes for the destination, the air waybill number and the flight and date. Labels like this were filled in by hand and stuck on freight consignments rather than passenger bags, and the boxes on this one were never completed. It is a small piece of the paperwork behind the air freight business.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
