Looking to update my luggage tags.

I usually use my business cards slipped into the standard luggage tag however, looking to see what's out there, more on the professional side, reserved in styling. I've seen all the cutesy-clever tags and that's not me. I've seen some all-metal ones anybody use those?

I have always used laminated business cards. You can buy proper sized envelopes and the plastic attaching rings at Office Depot etc.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I addition to a name tag, I had my name and address on the inside, and a Bass Pro decal or other fishing decal on the outside of the luggage to make it stand out from luggage of the same model. Smile

Funny that this thread should pop up as I'm getting ready to take a trip on Tuesday, and I got my luggage out of the garage. I have one of the Swiss gear luggage tags with my name and address in it.

I also have a sheet of paper with the same info inside the suitcase. It's one of those large roller bags that gets checked, and therefore gets picked up at baggage claim. Being a large black roller bag that looks like 90% of all the bags at baggage claim, I made my own modifications to identify it as mine:





My wife says my bag looks like it's been condemned by the county building inspector. When I get a new bag, I'll paint a skull & crossbones on it:

Staples will do them any way you want, laminated, with slots cut and little snap fasteners. I make my officers ID cards that way, with photo, to hang around their necks or clip to a pocket. 4 bucks apiece, 3 in numbers greater than 5. Draw your own design, email it to Staples and they will call you when finished, usually the same day, or mail them.

I just saw the Triple Aught Design Axis luggage tag the other day and it is pretty interesting. It has a slot to slide your business card/contact details into as well as velcro on that side for a morale patch or other piece to make it a bit more identifiable. You could also slip a slim luggage tracker like the Tile Slim into the tag to make sure your luggage is with you on the plane ;-)

People pay money for luggage tags?

I flew for 13 years without one at all. I kept a piece of notebook paper in my suitcase with my name and number on it. If your bag gets lost they will open it and look inside to see if they can find out who it belongs to.

Recently I got some free ones so I wrote my name and number on a small piece of paper and called it good.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

Not my style but I bet no one has ever thought of walking off with one of your bags!



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Take a look at RuMe. They have an aluminum luggage tag that you can personalize, but the cool part is their RuMe ID. You can write your name and phone number on it, but there is also a QR code and website listed that is specific for you. You can update the information on the website in real time, whenever needed. This comes in handy if you are out of the country and want to leave your local hotel information if your cell phone isn't working.

I did similar to the "X", I painted an orange stripe on the bottoms between the wheels. My wife printed tags using Iron Maiden Don't! My wife also bought a package of rubber name tag holders probably at the dollar tree or somewhere like that.
