Luggage Tag Printing- Color or Black & White?

[keychee]

Does it matter if our luggage tag is printed in color to correspond with our floor/room assignment or will black and white suffice? I don't own a color printer but want to make sure I won't self sabotage our luggage arrive due to it not being printed in color.

TIA!

It does not matter. Black and white is fine. As long as the tags are there! I’ve read elsewhere that it’ll get your bags to your room quicker if it’s in color.

Black and white will be just fine. That is always how we print it out

It doesn't matter -- Black & White is absolutely fine. :)

Black and white is fine. What's more important is that you "laminate" your printouts with clear packing tape. Also, using a laser printer is preferable to an inkjet since the latter is much more susceptible to smearing when wet.

Thanks everyone! I was planning on using our laser printer with clear packaging tape as lamination and using zip ties to secure to our luggage! I’m super excited with a few days left before sailing!

I always put two on a bag...one on each handle. Just in case one gets missing!

Re the packing tape, I'm a huge fan of these instead:

Nice and secure, without having to mess around with the tape gun every time. :)

Another smart idea would be to put one inside your luggage as well, in case it is misplaced or the tags fall off.

Doesn't matter!:D

If you have FTTF, your tags will have a red circle on them. If you have printed it in black and white they will put a red sticker on it (the tag, not the luggage) at the port so it will get processed with the correct priority.

If you do not print them in color then you are not cool :cool:

Yes! I keep a post-it note with my info as well as an expired DL in the front pouch of my suitcase any time I travel and it has saved my butt a few times.

Never liked luggage tags. The plastic eventually wears out and if you leave the tag in too long, the ink imprints itself onto the plastic. Luggage tags are disposable. They're good for one trip and then they're useless. They're not an investment.

I've never had an issue with either and have used them for multiple trips and they are still going strong. I print the tags via laser printers vs inkjets so maybe that is a factor?
