I bought these tags as Christmas gifts for my Grandparents (they had a trip planned for that Spring.)I didn't know what to get them and this turned out to be a very usuful gift! They, like everyone else, have black luggage and the they said that the orange made their luggage easy to identify at the bag claim. The the plastic is really thick and durable. They are going to last forever (they've made it through a year and seven plane trips so far). The name/personal information is discreetly hidden....safe, but your luggage will still find you.

These are nice and sturdy, so you don't feel like they're going to get torn off on their first trip through the conveyor belt. It's easy to write your contact info, but it's also nice that the majority of the information is hidden behind the sliding plastic. So, when passing by all those eyes at baggage claim, all anyone can see is your name through the window.

These tags are great! I like that they are vivid colors; they are very easy to spot. The personal information (other than the name) is also very private, which I like. They are secure and seem to be of quality construction. Very pleased.

These babies stayed right where I put them through 6 flights on our recent New Zealand trip. They also made our luggage stand out from the few other pieces in a similar color (no, not black!). All the tags I could find locally had thin leather straps that I knew would break with minimal stress. I pulled as hard as I could on one after attaching it and it didn't budge.

I was SO excited to get these tags & thought they would be great when I opened the package. Maybe if I owned Samsonite luggage I would've been happy with them. I ordered 4. Three of them slide VERY (almost too) easily open. The 4th almost gave me a hernia trying to get it to slide open! I was very dissappointed when trying to put them on my NON-Samsonite luggage. It was difficult to say the least. I have heavy duty wide luggage straps on each piece of my luggage, and there was barely enough room to get my petite fingers between the strap on my luggage and the heavy buckle type strap of the newly purchased luggage tags. (For the purpose of this review I measured the Samsonite tags. The strap is 3/4" by 2" from the end of the tag.) It took 6-8 minutes (per piece of luggage) to finally get them on. It's hard to tell whether or not you have the little knob pushed into the hole far enough for a secure fit-- some go in further than others. With a few good yanks to test it out, I decided I had gotten the job done.

No problems on the flight out, but on the flight home after getting my luggage off the conveyer belt, I noticed on one of the luggage tags that the part of the tag that slides and allows access to your address, phone #, et. was completely missing! It had evidently been pulled completely off, although there were no sharp edges, obvious cracks, etc., and the luggage was in fine shape. Not a mark on it. I was glad I ordered extras, BUT... after unpacking I was ready to put my suitcases away. They nest inside of each other nicely to save space... well not with these bulky luggage tags still attached; there's no "give" in them at all. Not bendable. I will take them off and not use them again. The kicker is I ordered 4 of them & paid extra for quick shipping. Live and learn I guess. There are a lot of tags out there with leather flaps for privacy over the name/address/phone # info, and I'll be getting those for the next trip.

A simple and effective product delivered promptly. There's not much more to say about these tags that really stand out when my black bags come down the conveyor belt....

It is my hope to come back and review update this review after taking a trip with these tags; however, upon receipt these luggage tags are made of a strong plastic material with rubber grips on the sides. They are not difficult to open and had a small window on the back for your name to appear when they are closed. There are three attachment points in the strapping system and it is very secure. There is a little hole and nub (female/male) at each the top AND bottom of the straps and then there is a groove in the strap where it is fed through the "fastener" (for lack of better terminology). I ordered the neon green tags and I know that my luggage will now easily stand out among all the other BLACK pieces of luggage circling the baggage claim.

Very Sturdy. Show only your name to the outside world. Won't come off during the abuse the Airlines gives bags.

These tags are cute and rather functional..I've only used it one time and it wasn't for checked baggage but for carry on..I felt the brightly colored tags would help to identify your checked luggage quickly as you stand at the carousel watching luggage that can mostly look alike go round and round. I did have a bit of trouble opening/pulling apart the plastic to insert my business card, but once I got it open I did appreciate that it wasn't easily tampered with.

I bought these in orange for a family trip to Europe this summer. They made our luggage easy to spot on the conveyor belts. They are made of hard plastic, that held up well. The straps are a softer, but still stiff, plastic. They are VERY difficult to attach as you need to get the little plastic pegs into the little holes and push/squeeze REALLY hard. I had to use my teeth to get them in!
