Luggage Tags

[Jaylie]

Do I have to fold and staple the paper luggage tags, or can I laminate and attached with ribbon?

[setsail]

I would do the latter and use a zip tie instead of a ribbon

I use these. http://www.cruisecritic.com/store/product.cfm?ID=46

You can do whatever you want to them. I used the fold and tape method for a while and finally broke down and got the luggage tag holders.

I bought the luggage tags too, and they work great, but just covering them with clear packing tape, then folding and stapling worked great too.

hi all

does anyone know the turn around time if I order 4 tags tonight and use priority mail

I need them for next Saturday...

just wondering if I would get them in time.

thanks

Either way is fine

Why worry about laminating just fold and tape it on

Amazon has them too. If you have Amazon Prime, you can get them in 2 days, if they are prime eligible. Even if they aren't, they will probably come in time, or you can pay extra to get them sooner. I've been using they for a couple years and they are great.

I love my luggage tag holders I got on amazon a few years back. I'm in a suite next cruise, so I ordered my free luggage tags during my check in process. they just arrived and they are so chintzy and small. I think I'll print up my own again and slip them in my holders.

Easiest option? Don't even bother. All the porters have tags in their pocket and they will do it faster than you can imagine when you get to the port. People don't print and attach their own airline tags, we ought to get away from this silly and archaic obsession...

I also use the Amazon luggage tag holders. They work fine for me.

 

I also downloaded a program that will print 4 luggage tags on one page. I found it on another luggage tag thread and it works well. You can also add your name before printing. You have to have luggage tags available for printing for this program to work.

I believe the porters at the cruise terminals have enough to do without having to slow them down.

thanks for the replies!!!

I would agree with you if it actually slowed them down. It doesn't. They do it hundreds of times a day and never miss a beat.

For the most part they work for tips. The more they have to stop and write out tags it logically to me at least would slow them down. All those 100's of times add up.

We did the fold and tape method. But used hospital tape. It worked ok, but i'm tempted to get those tag holders now...lol

Hi kaye,

 

If you dont mind my me asking, where do you usually go to have the tags laminated? If the cost isnt too much, im sure my wife wouldnt be against doing this for our next cruise

You can buy heat free laminating sheets or if you want to splash out you can buy a laminating unit. There are many reasonably priced brands available.

I tried using the software download but it just made luggage tags out of the first sheet of my e-docs. Haven't yet figured out how to isolate just page 15 which is the one with the tags. Any help? :confused:

The large clear packing tape is wide enough to cover it. I wouldn't pay to have it laminated. This does the same thing and works great!

We laminate ours but fold and staple will work as well.

You can print them off from your sea pass account from the documents for your cruise.

[Desert Cruizers]

I was told if using the Luggage Tag tool, you first need to go to the Luggage Tag page off your Docs save to your computer in a PDF rather then trying to print from the Web Site.

You can get clear contact paper at the dollar store instead of laminating.

From you e-documents select print from the File menu. When the print dialog box show up select pages and in the space next to the pages button delete any other pages and type in page 15. If you still have the print luggage tags available on your On Line Check In page you can do it there too. On that page only the luggage page is available.

 

You can save both the e-document and your luggage tags PDF's to your hard drive. If you do so you can review or print them at your leisure and don't have to be logged to My Cruises.
