Luggage Tags

[august1963]

Just wondering if these paper luggage tags get ripped off the luggage while they're being handled by the porters. Do you wait and put them on when you get to the port? What works better? Tape or staples?

 

(First time I've used them)

Just got back from a B2B on the Carnival Destiny, never had a problem with the paper tags.. when we got to the port the baggage handlers stapled them together so they were secure

Some people even laminate the luggage tags.

 

clear mailing tape works well too. I dont think staples by themselves are enough.

I cover mine with clear packing tape and use a hole punch to make it easy to secure them to the luggage handles with zip ties - never had an issue. Good luck! :)

One staple held mine

I always plan on the possibility of wet weather so I fold mine the way they are supposed to be, use clear packing tape on both sides, fold it over the handle and staple the sides and bottom. Remember, your gonna have to take them off before you disembark when they give you the other tags. Personally, the way they handle the luggage at the piers is rough and I wouldn't want mine falling off and having to search for it after boarding. Which is why I always put a note inside the bag with my name, address and boarding info on it.

I print out 2 sets and apply the clear adhesive tape, hole punch and tie on handle with colorful ribbon. I apply the tags at home with with my last name and cell number just in case the airline loses the luggage they can forward it to the ship. The extra set is in my carryon just in case the tags our missing at the airport. Never lose a tag yet.

I had a pkg of laminate sheets from another project, so laminated our tags last year for our Dream cruise, so I am doing the same with our Legend tags this year!

 

I then punch a hole and attached with these big thick rubber bands that, again, I had from another project!!

 

I like the idea of adding ribbon to it too!!

I'm annal and buy from Wallyworld the laminate sheets and laminate ours, then put one hole in them with a hole punch, then us a ziptie to secure to luggage. They stay on really well and don't have to worry about them getting wet if it should rain.

I don't trust the paper tags. Get real ones from the porters at the pier.

[Val23G]

we didn't put ours on until we got to where the porters were at in embarkation. Just ask them to staple them on. They held up just fine

[lilyfrog73]

I bought tags I found from this site. I'm using them for our upcoming cruise.

I laminate all of our luggage tags, punch a hole in the top, and use a zip tie to attach it to my luggage. Works like a champ!:D

[loveyorkbeachme]

I print mine on cardboard stock...works much better and I put them on right when I get to the ship.

I got some of the holders from Favors by Serendipity, due to recommendations from CCers in a previous thread. I received them on Saturday and they are excellent! Can't wait to use them!

This is what we do too.

Those are paper too:p

I bought sticker pages at office supplystore (or anyplace that has office supply aisles like walmart or target)...and printed luggage tags out on the printer. Trimmed w scissors, peeled off backing...and attached to baggage.

We print ours on 8x10 photo paper,cut to size, hole punch and tie wrap around the handle. The paper is thick and will weather the handling the suitcases get on their way to the cabin.
