Okay, you're going on holiday and you want to make sure your suitcases, bags, cameras, video bag, stroller, scuba gear and hat boxes are all securely labelled. Some people are happy to rely on the flimsy paper tags that the airline or travel agency hands out. They wouldn't if they'd ever seen the other side of the baggage collection belts! No, what you need is engraved plastic name tags. You can even use them at home for plastic dog id tags.

These luggage name tags are ideal because they are securely fastened are pretty tough - they don't break unless something really odd happens, and they don't just come off in your hand. They're more environmentally friendly too - if you use them for years think how many of those card things you'll have saved. So a plastic engraved name tag is robust, clear to read and reusable.

But what about all those criminals who hang around at airports glancing at the baggage labels of holiday makers to learn which houses are going to be empty for two weeks? Well, it's probably safe to assume such people exist - for this reason never write your home address on the paper or Plastic name tag holders, that you fasten to your outgoing baggage for all to read.

But what about engraved plastic name badges - surely you want to put your address on. Isn't that the point? Well, yes, and plastic or metal tags are carefully printed so they can be read upon inspection but not at a passing glance. You'd be pretty suspicious if a total stranger bent down, put their reading glasses on and examined your bags wouldn't you?

All these tags can be readily, and cheaply, order via the Internet. Even if it just saved you having to write out all those stupid tags every time you leave home, it'd be worth it!!
