Bugalugsnz Posted November 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Anyone know of a source for the wide laminated pouches for Princess in New Zealand? Overseas sources cost more in shipping than the actual product! I'm just after one. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You don't really need them. Fold your luggage tag, then cover it with clear packing tape on each side. Attach it as directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Mrs Gut does. But in all honesty I doubt you even really need the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just after one.TIA Auspost lists a standard 50gm letter as a whole $1.95 to good ol NZ so if they are charging more than that I would be asking why :) ( I weighed one and it is well under that even with a printed A4 luggage tag in it!)

Beanb41 Posted November 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The link below is to a You tube video on how to convert the A4 printed luggage tags into tags that wont come off. We choose to use the clear because one cant rely upon wharf baggage handlers. It would be great if one could buy the non tear A4 printable paper at a reasonable price then we wouldn't have to worry about them. If one doesn't have a printer ask your Travel Agent to print you off 4 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewgood Posted November 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My mother in law printed her label on cardstock (so it wouldn't tear) then when she folded it at the dock we couldn't get the stapler through it. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs and mrs Posted November 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Ours are just folded standard A4 paper, and stapled. Crazy how durable they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I print off the tags and laminate them myself, then they are attached with a cable tie. Cut off with nail clippers when done.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2016 In reality they only have to survive from when you drop them off with the baggage handlers to when your bags arrive at your cabin door. ;) If you are flying to the port I wouldn't attach them until after your flight.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2016 However if you cruise often it's probably worth investing in a few cruise ship luggage tag holders. The Cruise Critic ones are really good and if you get the large size, needed for Princess, they'll work for all ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs and mrs Posted November 28, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Cut off with nail clippers when done.:D And then do you file the sharp edges with your nail file.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted November 28, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Good advice about only having the tags on for the bag drop off and then removing them before debarkation. Seen many a bag go elsewhere du eto still having old tags on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666oz Posted November 28, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) All I do is fold the A4 paper, put around handle then wind sticky tape around and all the way up the label to the handle VERY SOLID.

Wastegirl Posted November 28, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Call me OCD but like Mic I laminate, round off the corners of my tag so it does not cut anyone. Then I pop a hole in the top and tie them on with electrical cable ties and the yes I smooth the cable tie edge. Those suckers are not coming off even if my bags end up at the bottom of the pacific [emoji4]. It's just an extra little pre cruise process I enjoy doing.

I've heard some people say they are worried about the tags falling off and their bag getting lost. I've never had that happen though. There is a company called 'cruisebagtags'.
