how to put on luggage tag

Introduction

We all know that there are few things more frustrating than losing your luggage. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to make sure your bag is easy to identify and track down: by putting on a luggage tag! It may seem like a small thing, but trust me, this step can make all the difference when you’re trying to find your lost suitcase at baggage claim or having it shipped back home. And while there are plenty of great options out there for these simple yet crucial pieces of travel gear (including some really fun ones), the classic version will always be my favorite option. Here’s how to put one on:

Identify your luggage with a luggage tag.

There are three reasons to use a luggage tag:

• You want to identify your luggage. If you’re like most travelers, then you’ve probably been on at least one trip where you’ve accidentally picked up the wrong bag at baggage claim. It’s embarrassing and frustrating (and sometimes expensive). But you can avoid this by putting a simple piece of plastic on your bag that shows who owns it.

• You want an easy way to attach things to your luggage. Luggage tags provide an ideal surface for writing down important information about your trip or attaching other items like keys or phone chargers.

• You want something inexpensive and easy-to-use as part of a larger travel system (e.g., putting stickers on all of your bags).

Peel off the adhesive from the back of the luggage tag and place it on the corner of your suitcase.

You can identify and track your luggage easily.

Luggage tags are an easy and efficient way to keep track of your belongings when traveling. You can buy them at the airport or online, so there’s no need to worry about forgetting one when you’re packing for your trip. Simply attach a luggage tag to the corner of your suitcase so that it’s visible from outside, then write down the name of each place you visit on the inside flap before leaving it in the hotel room safe or giving it back to an attendant at the airport desk.

Before you stick your address card or sticker on, give the glue a few minutes to set.

Some adhesives will set faster in certain conditions. For example, if it’s dry, the adhesive will set faster than if it’s humid or damp. Heat also speeds up the process of setting glue. So if you’re putting your address information card in a hot place to dry, like on a radiator or near an air-conditioning vent, that should speed up how long it takes for the glue to become sticky enough for you to attach your card or sticker.

Another way you can make sure the adhesive sets quickly is by applying pressure with your fingers when attaching an address information card or sticker to your luggage tag. This will help flatten out any air pockets between the tag and its surface so that they can bond more effectively.

Fill out your address information and double-check that all the details are correct.

Once you’ve gathered all the information you need, it’s time to fill out your tag. Make sure that you double-check all the details, including your address, phone number, and name, and verify that they’re spelled correctly before proceeding. If any data is incorrect, ask yourself whether it’s worth taking the time to correct it now or if you should simply cross out that portion and write in the new information later on.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best not to wait until after you’ve left home to write in anything important (like emergency contact information). It’s better for everyone if this becomes second nature during preparation so that when something happens unexpectedly during travel (like getting lost), there are no delays in contacting someone who can help resolve the issue.

You can keep track of your luggage by putting on a tag.

You can keep track of your luggage by putting on a tag.

• Before you put on the tag, make sure that your address card is filled out and attached to it.

• Open up the U-shaped piece, making sure that its grooves are facing upwards.

• Place your address card inside, ensuring that it’s all the way in until you hear a “click” noise indicating that it has been locked into place properly.

• Close up the U-shaped piece around the border of your address card so that it forms an enclosure around it (the tag will now be upside down).
