cdillon23 Posted September 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Leaving tomorrow and I have a question about the luggage tags you print and put on your bag. Is it ok to fold them then tape them completely like laminating them before putting them on my luggage. I am using packing tape so it is clear.

huxlemo Posted September 2, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You can do that. I use packaging tape also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondello Posted September 2, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes, that is fine if you wish to do that. Some PAX attach with zip-ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kkate Posted September 2, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Absolutely, that's what I do, then punch a hole in them & attach with thick elastics. Happy cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolhand Posted September 2, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes, we do that and then use a hole punch and secure to backs with electrical tywraps. Works great every time. Have a fantastic time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted September 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2012 To much trouble for me. We ask the porters for real cardboard ones with wire ties and put those on our bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given a couple of these by a friend that bought the package of 5. They are much easier to use than messing around with laminating or taping. Sturdy enought that I expect them to last a few years if some ham handed baggage handler does not rip the off. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted October 14, 2012 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2012 For those of you that use the zipties to put your luggage tags on. Do you put them in your carry-on bags when you are flying to your port or in the checked bags??? I have already laminated our luggage tags which is what I usually do but I don't want to bring a stapler with me this time. Zipties seem much more convenient :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper6606 Posted October 14, 2012 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I use packing tape to cover the Tag, use a hole punch and then attach them with a Tie wrap right after we land at the Airport [ keep them in my purse] I use the plastic tie wraps with the little teeth - they "lock" in place and can't come apart... I used twist ties once and one of them came off and it took me a while to retrieve my luggage from the Pursers desk:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us in Canada, you can get these type of things from cruisetags.ca. I ordered mine last Sunday night and they came in the mail on Thursday.

bruisin4cruisin Posted October 15, 2012 #24 Share Posted October 15, 2012 We use a stapler and have never lost a tag yet. As a matter of fact, we always have to take off the old ones when we are going to the next ship. 2 staples at the bottom and it is good to go. Super easy and quick.
