Stand Out From the Crowd on the Baggage Carousel or the Golf Courseor on Sports Bags or Bicycles or Musical Instruments or BackpacksBy Madelyn MillerEveryone's luggage looks alike. More than 90% of all the bags on any carousel seem to be black. We've all been there—carefully inspecting a procession of luggage as it makes its way around an airport baggage carousel. It is not a coincidence that all luggage looks pretty much the same. Now, there's a lighthearted way to help avoid the confusion. The PlastiCor Fun TagC394 allows you to identify your own luggage from a distance. It also signals other people that they may be reaching for the wrong bag in the nicest way possible—with a smile. The Fun Tag™ is a colorfully illustrated oversized luggage tag that is sure to make both you and your baggage stand out in a crowd. From Larry Elephant's humorously forceful bellow, "Don't touch my trunk!" to Purscilla Cat'sC3A2 purr-fectly timed demand, "Paws off my bag," your luggage, backpack or business case is guaranteed to find its way to its rightful owner with more than a few chuckles along the way.
But even with different color bags, someone is likely to mistake yours for theirs. Someone once took a mauvey pink Samsonite bag of ours (purchased at a great discount, probably because the color was so unpopular) because they had a matching mauvey bag. The one way to really stand out is with standout baggage tags. Here are a few that I like. FUN TAGS™ from Plasticor have whimsical colorful cartoons. Who would steal a bag with a cartoon mouse that says 'TOP SECRET, DON'T TOUCH'? I think they would be embarrassed. Fun Tags by PlastiCor can be ordered at 877-521-2288 . 3M BAG TAGS let you be really creative. Each package has five protective laminates and looks. You can laminate by hand—no heat or machine is needed. You could put a business card inside, but why not be creative and put your picture on it? Or a favorite visual. Do something no one else would ever think of, and you will always have a unique baggage tag. The instructions are easy. These tags use "cool: lamination, meaning that there is no wait for a machine to warm up. Just follow the easy instructions and voilà!—instant identification for luggage. $5 for a package of 5 |

The Fun Tag™ is the result of the collaborative effort of Al Eisenberg and his son, Mark. Al witnessed baggage confusion first hand. As a pioneer in the packaging business, he was always on the go traveling. He couldn't help but notice that many fellow travelers adorned their bags with brightly colored ribbons, straps or stickers to aid in identification.
