Specter Posted May 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I just printed out our luggage tags from carnival.com. What's the best way to physically attach these to the luggage? They're printed on computer paper, so they're not very durable. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacruizer Posted May 29, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I cover them in packing tape, punch a hole in them, and use a zip tie. They're surprisingly sturdy that way and have made it through flights where my luggage was destroyed but the tag was still there! I also protects the ink if you use an inkjet printer in case of rain on your embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraSt Posted May 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2009 We put clear packing tape on them,and they held up great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazingm42 Posted May 29, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2009 If you have any card stock paper print them on that and cover them with packing tape or laminate them. We too use the tie wrap and they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylock Posted May 29, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I fold them like it says. Cover with packing tape because I use inket and it will smear if it gets wet. Wrap it around the handle of my bag and staple it. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyW Posted May 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I, too, folded them and then covered them with packing (clear) tape. I punched two holes and used two zip ties to secure the ends to each other and them to my suitcases. We usually fly in the day before so I don't usually put mine on until it's time to head to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted May 29, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Fold as directed. If flying, cover with tape and then loop around bag handle and tape the ends together. This is so strong that even the Rome airport could not get them off.:D If not flying, try folding a sheet of paper in the directed manner. Then try to tear it. It is not easy, is it? Therefore, I plan to just tape the ends around the handles. I always make some extras and put a copy inside each bag in case of total destruction.

cb at sea Posted May 29, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Don't bother with those you printed. Just get real tags from the porter when you arrive at the ship! They have PLENTY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridacruzin Posted May 29, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Don't bother with those you printed. Just get real tags from the porter when you arrive at the ship! They have PLENTY! Agreed--then no worries about durability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted May 29, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I also use the packing tape, but one word of advice: do not put the tags on until you have completed your flights. They can get damaged in transit. I usually put them on in the hotel if we arrive the day before the cruise. There is usually little risk of damaging the tags between the hotel and the port. Another good idea is to print out some labels before you leave home. Include (at a minimum): Name Cabin # (I would make this large type) Then, when you get to the port, get some tags in the correct color for your section of the ship, and slap on the labels.
