LUGGAGE TAGS

I laminate the paper ones with 2 1/2" wide packing tape and have never had a problem.

Remember in the old days when you got a packet in the mail a couple weeks before a cruise with your tickets, itinerary, and the plastic printed luggage tags that were self adhesive ?

Laminating sheets and a stapler or a zip strip, haven't lost one yet

More on luggage tag holders------someone started a thread on this last year, (see link). It came at an opportune time for me, as our tag holders were worn out and I had scoured the town unable to find anyone anywhere who carried them. It would seem that the travel catalog "Travel Smith" would have them but nope. The ones I had were from Fred Meyers who had discontinued carrying anything like that in their store travel sections.

I think it was glomarrone on that thread who put me onto Amazon.com. Wow, talk about going famine to feast. Only problem I had was that there were 27 different types for sale, and we didn't have much time for mail delivery and then to experiment before embarkation day. So I just order four different packs at random. When they came they all looked pretty good but I liked the looks of the Cruise Tag Caddys the best. So I used them. We have about 5 cruises under our belt since then and they still look like new, half of those involved air travel to Europe. They have been put to the test of the toughest ramp rats around and still survived.

The Fred Meyer's ones were PVC too with teflon straps. Trouble was the PVC was thin and the teflon got brittle, lucky we didn't lose a bag. As previously posted, these are thick PVC with little stainless steel cables for connection.

Wife saw the other ones laying around and wondered why I wasted all that money buying so many. Sometimes you just can't win.
