Luggage Tags

Luggage tags are small identifiers attached to luggage, serving to associate the luggage with its owner during transport. They are typically made of plastic, metal, or leather, and display identifying information such as the owner’s name, address, phone number, and email address.

Material

• Plastic: The most common material due to its low cost, durability, and availability in various colors and designs. Often PVC or polycarbonate.
• Metal: Typically aluminum or stainless steel, offering a more premium look and increased durability. Often used for higher-end luggage or for a more secure identification method.
• Leather: Provides a classic aesthetic and a more luxurious feel. Generally less durable than plastic or metal and requires more care.
• Fabric: Less common, often used as part of a larger luggage accessory or as a decorative element.
