CLICK BELOW TO BUY LEATHER, BROWN PAPER OR PLASTIC LUGGAGE TAGS!!!
Although I travel a lot, when I reach the airline check-in desk, I still find myself asking for those flimsy free paper luggage tags to attach to my bag. Even worse, I sometimes even forget to fill in my details afterwards! So I’ve been thinking recently about whether having my own personalised luggage tags could be the way forward. So what are the options?
Although airlines put their own tags on checked-in luggage, there is still the chance that bags can get lost – something that would be very stressful and frustrating. For many people this could be the perfect reason to acquire some custom luggage tags that match their persona and style. You could choose an eye-catching colour or shape or incorporate something unique like your actual photo.
If you are happy with readymade tags, you will find them available in specialist luggage shops. You may find that when you buy leather based bags that you will receive leather luggage tags along with them. There will be a little piece of card that you fill in before inserting back into the leather pouch. You will also find that if you are buying expensive designer luggage that they will also include tags.
One of my favourite brands is Aspinal of London. Their standard set of two leather luggage tags come in pink, sky blue, purple, black, brown, navy and deep red and cost £23-25. However you can get leather ones from non-designer brands for £2-3 if you like.
When it comes to personalized luggage tags, the brands are too numerous to mention, but you will be surprised at the possibilities. However, if you are a businessperson, a promotional plastic luggage tag might be a great idea. These will have your business name or personal brand on the tag and may be a good cheap way to promote yourself or your company.
Of course one of the simplest solutions is to create your own out of paper. In this case, anything goes and you can personalise and customise them to your heart’s content. At the same time many people seem to like simple brown paper luggage tags, probably because they are of a neutral colour and fit well with many bags. People going down the make your own route often benefit from one of the many luggage tag templates available. Again, the options they provide are seemingly endless.
Who would have known that there would be so much choice in something so simple? Perhaps it’s surprising to you that people go to so much trouble! If it seems too much of a hassle to you, why not just connect up your printer and quickly produce some printable luggage tags and get the job done quickly. Yes, believe it or not, even they exist! Or like me, you can just forget about it until the next time you reach the airline check-in desk at a busy airport with a long line behind you!
