how to put on luggage tag

[RecoveryDude]

I bought the plastic "Cruise tags" from Amazon for like $8 and I loved them! They look much classier cause you put your color cruise tag you print in them. Then I don't have to worry about them ripping off. There was a large pile of suitcases with NO tage on them, Im sure because they ripped off - so I was glad to have these plastic ones.

Encase them in clear packing tape and staple. The packing tape will keep them from being ripped off accidentally.

Using photo paper is another way to strengthen the tag.

Happy Flamingo, do you want to change your upcoming Liberty date or did you sail her already LAST January. :confused::confused: If so, we were on the same cruise! :cool:

 

 

We were on the same cruise and what a great one it was!

We just don't trust that the printer paper will hold the way the bags get loaded/unloaded. We always preprint our luggage tags, and take them to Staples where we have them laminated for around .40 per page (2 on a page). We then staple them multiple times.

 

We also always make sure we have or normal airline luggage tags affixed, too. I would think that having a missing bag on a cruise line would be a huge headache.

I just print out tags fold then and put them in my passport holder. When I get to the ship I'll give then to the porter he'll staple them to my luggage and away I go. Just do not put them on you luggage before you fly.

For the life of me I can't remember how I did it for my husband and I first cruise.

 

I'll probably get them laminated at Office Depot or buy the cruise tags from amazon. I haven't figured it out yet.

That's a good idea. I'd been doing the stapling at the hotel desk, but it makes sense the porters would have to have staplers to attach the tags too. Thanks.

LOVE that ship! I want to put those color changing lights in my house! ;):p

Duct tape...

Walmart has luggage tags for 1.00. My piece of mind it is worth it::)

Go to Amazon. They sell holders for the cruise tags and then they won't tear

We just fold, tape and use several staples. We also put two tags per checked bag because we have had one fall off before.

i print mine on card stock, i cut out only the important section in the middle, fold it in half run it through my laminator. Put a hole in it and zip tie it to my luggage.

 

That is exactly what I do also. I print out enough tags to have 2 on each bag plus I print some at 50% size, laminate, and then attach to my purse, tote bag, camera, etc.

[VolzCruiser]

I fold as instructed, THEN use packing or scotch tape to enclose the whole tag, then use a hole puncher near the top and put a double strand of yarn thru the hole and tie to luggage handle.

 

I pretty much do the same but instead of yarn we went and bought some fan pull down chains and just reuse them on every cruise

Oh wow, I never thought to reduce the size for my totes & camera. That's genius!

How did you get orange tags? We have FTTF and the ones we printed only have small circles on them noting FTTF.

You get them from the porters at the dock

[katiel53]

I used to print, fold and then use packing tape on the passes. I would then tape the ends closed as opposed to using staples as I read that the staples have hurt the hands of some handlers.

 

I now have the clear luggage tag holders that I bought from Amazon. They are the ones with the metal grommets. So easy to use.

I usually laser etch the info onto 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of 10 mil titanium, then attach to suitcase with 48 fire hardened steel rivets.:D

Do you also purchase the optional embedded microchip enabling GPS tracking??

Dang. I have to confess I've never thought of that. Thanks for the tip, friend! I can just take my tag to my dog's vet and have him surgically implant the chip. Easy peasy.

Just LOVE the personalized TAG !!!! :D

 

 

 

Or you can get holders for them for a few bucks

Amazon sells neat luggage tag holders for both Carnival tags and RCCL/Celebrity. Not expensive and can be used over and over.
