skittles019 Posted July 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Am I the only one who thinks that printing on luggage tag is a waste of paper. There is plenty of room in the other unused "Fold - Do not Cut" area to have more tags on that sheet.... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted July 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2017 That would likely compromise the strength and may result in tags being torn off. Nobody wants lost luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to save paper, have the porters make up your tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone2K Posted July 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I use the extra space to make multiple folds and give the tag some stiffness. My biggest concern is that it will rip off, so I hope the extra folds will help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted July 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The purpose of the extra paper, I think, is to give the finished tag a little more strength. Of course if you are putting it in a holder then you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of room in the other unused "Fold - Do not Cut" area to have more tags on that sheet.... :confused: I use a program that was on these boards several years ago. It uses the page from the electronic documents and prints 4 tags to a page. i cut them out and place in tag holders. the program allows you to add names to the tags. -Tim- Edited July 17, 2017 by later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted July 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Definitely for strength.......then once folded, and filled out we cover them in clear packaging tape and staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I don't think printing them out is at all necessary...I prefer to get the strong airline type from the porters..just write my cabin # on them and off they go.....no need to worry about them ripping, getting lost or falling off.

There is plenty of room in the other unused "Fold - Do not Cut" area to have more tags on that sheet.... :confused: I use the full A4 sheet and fold several times then staple and wrap sellotape around the staples. It is very secure and you need scissors to cut it. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted July 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Definitely for strength.......then once folded, and filled out we cover them in clear packaging tape and staple. We do the exact same thing. Very strong once you add the clear packing tape (not Scotch tape for wrapping presents!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted July 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2017 We do the exact same thing. Very strong once you add the clear packing tape (not Scotch tape for wrapping presents!). Yes, the tape is as wide as the folded tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mcatmcat Posted July 17, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 17, 2017 No I can't image how some people just use 3 staples on it and are ready to go. I always laminate them with a scotch tape for them to be strong. I had a porter telling me once "these are great luggage tags".

cb at sea Posted July 18, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have no desire to do craft projects, so I just get real tags from the porters....they have plenty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payitforward Posted July 18, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 18, 2017 You are not the only one who thinks it's a waste of paper. I wish they would offer the option to print for folding or print for luggage tag insertion. If I have time on my hands, or would rather do "cruise stuff" than the things I should be doing, I play with copy and paste functions to put four on a page and insert my name. Otherwise, I just cut them out and laminate with packing tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetX Posted July 18, 2017 #24 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The other side of this is that the cruise line is not sending you pages upon pages of cruise documents anymore...so actually, it's saving paper this way, not wasting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1maggie1 Posted July 18, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Okay glad to see this thread. Printed out luggage tags and the actual important part is so SMALL. I understand the folding and all of that but it still seems like it should be bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
