Review on Premium Airline Luggage Specialist ID by Erica Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Give the baggage handlers a finger! In addition, they are easy to see from afar.

I bought 5 packs of yellow luggage tags for two reasons: 1. I wanted something yellow so I could easily tell which black suitcase was mine. So you can see from afar how the baggage carousel lets my bags fall onto the carousel.2. I wanted the tags to be strong and resilient enough to be pulled, ripped and removed by nefarious gits who might steal my belongings, as well as careless and cruel movers. This product has gained visibility and durability. As a corporate video producer, I carry a lot of video gear across the United States, and losing a box of expensive gear because a cheap paper label fell off an airline is an easy fix with these hard plastic labels. Each label is about 20% larger than a standard business card, but also quite thick - I think it would be about 1/4 inch thick. They are very rigid and do not bend. A medium-thick clear plastic window slides over a business card. , protects it from spills and crushing. Plus, the bright yellow color is hard to miss. A clear rubber plastic elastic loop, approximately 6 inches long, passes through a slit in the top of the tag. It is pulled through itself to attach the loop to the label (at the same time the card is attached to the label). The opposite end of the loop is then pulled through the ring or strap on the luggage. Then by pulling and stretching the loop (it's rubber, remember?) the tag is pushed through the loop and tightened. When released, the loop will contract to its normal, shorter length. The tag is now attached to your luggage and ready to serve you on your travels. Even if a determined thief can easily cut the loop and get rid of the tag, I'm pretty sure these durable tags will serve me well in most cases. years ahead. I will come back in a year or so and report on durability.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • mostly good but...
