Why Choose Custom Plastic Luggage Tags?

A luggage tag needs to withstand frequent handling, transportation, and changes in environment. Plastic luggage tags offer a combination of durability, lightweight construction, and design flexibility, making them suitable for both everyday travel and branded applications.

Compared with basic paper or low-quality printed tags, hard-wearing plastic provides a more durable surface for long-term use. The material can also support detailed graphics, company logos, text, and other identifying information.

For businesses, personalized luggage tags can serve two purposes at the same time: they help identify a bag and provide a visible branding opportunity.

Plastic Luggage Tag Materials Compared

Different plastic materials offer different combinations of flexibility, durability, appearance, and cost. The right material depends on how the luggage tag will be used and what type of finish or printing effect is required.

MaterialTypical CharacteristicsSuitable Applications
PVCDurable, versatile, and widely used for custom tagsLuggage tags, promotional tags, branded bag tags
PETLightweight with good dimensional stabilityTravel tags, card-style tags, identification products
PPLightweight and flexiblePromotional tags, general-purpose bag tags
ABSRigid and impact-resistantMore structured or durable tag designs

PVC is a popular option when durability and customization are the main priorities. However, PET, PP, and ABS can also be considered depending on the desired product structure and application.

Our production team can help determine which material is appropriate based on the tag design, thickness, printing requirements, and intended use.

Standard and Custom Luggage Tag Sizes

The standard size for these plastic luggage tags is 85.5 × 54 mm, also known as CR80 card size. This compact format is easy to carry and suitable for many luggage and bag applications.

If your design requires a different shape or dimension, custom sizes can also be produced.

Size OptionDescription
CR8085.5 × 54 mm standard card size
Custom RectangleSuitable for larger branding or information areas
Custom ShapeDesigned around a logo, icon, character, or specific concept
Custom DimensionSize developed according to your application

Custom sizing is particularly useful when the tag needs to accommodate additional information, a larger logo, a barcode, a QR code, or a distinctive brand shape.

Custom Thickness for Different Applications

The standard thickness is 0.76 mm, providing a balance between a lightweight profile and a durable plastic construction.

Thickness can be customized according to the product design. A thinner tag may be suitable when weight and flexibility are important, while a thicker construction can provide a more substantial feel.

The appropriate thickness depends on the material, tag size, printing method, hole design, and intended application.

Glossy, Matte or Frosted Surface Finishes

The surface finish can significantly change the appearance of a personalized luggage tag. We offer several common options to help match your brand identity and design requirements.

FinishAppearanceRecommended For
GlossySmooth and reflectiveBright graphics, colorful logos, promotional products
MatteSmooth with reduced reflectionProfessional and understated designs
FrostedSemi-transparent textured appearanceModern, distinctive, premium-style designs

A glossy finish can make printed colors appear visually vibrant, while a matte finish can create a more restrained appearance. Frosted surfaces can be used when a translucent or contemporary visual effect is desired.

Full-Color Custom Printing

Custom printing allows your luggage tags to carry your own artwork instead of using a standard template.

Depending on the design and production requirements, available printing methods include CMYK offset printing and silk-screen printing.

CMYK Offset Printing

CMYK printing is suitable for detailed artwork, photographs, gradients, colorful logos, and designs containing multiple colors. It provides flexibility for full-color luggage tag designs.

Silk-Screen Printing

Silk-screen printing is commonly used for simpler graphics, solid colors, text, and designs where strong printed areas are required.

The most suitable printing process depends on the artwork, number of colors, surface, quantity, and desired visual effect.

Artwork Requirements

For accurate production, customers can provide artwork in common professional design formats.

Preferred file formats:

  • AI
  • PSD
  • PDF

Vector artwork is generally preferred for logos, text, icons, and other graphics that need to remain sharp at different sizes.

Before mass production, artwork can be reviewed to identify potential issues involving dimensions, bleed, text, colors, or other production details.

Custom Logos, Text, Barcodes and QR Codes

A custom luggage tag can contain more than just a company logo. Depending on the design, you can incorporate different types of information.

Common customization elements include:

  • Company logos
  • Brand names
  • Contact information
  • Website addresses
  • Slogans
  • Decorative graphics
  • Barcodes
  • QR codes
  • Serial numbers
  • Event information
  • Employee or membership information

For variable information such as individual names, numbers, or codes, production requirements should be confirmed before manufacturing.

Custom Shape Luggage Tags

A standard rectangular luggage tag is practical, but custom-shaped tags can create a stronger visual connection with a brand.

For example, a travel company may use a tag shaped around its logo, while a sports organization may choose a shape associated with its team or equipment.

Custom shapes can be developed according to your artwork and production requirements. The final design should maintain sufficient space for the attachment hole, printed information, and any required strap or loop.

Plastic Luggage Tags vs. Other Tag Materials

Plastic is only one option for luggage identification products. The best material depends on the intended use, budget, design, and required durability.

Luggage Tags for Airlines and Travel Companies

Customized luggage tags can be used as branded travel accessories by airlines, travel agencies, tour operators, airports, hotels, and corporate travel programs.

An airline or travel company can incorporate its logo, brand colors, website, contact information, or other visual elements into the design.

For promotional campaigns, a luggage tag can also function as a practical branded item that customers continue to use after an event or purchase.

Personalized Tags for Sports Bags

The same product can be adapted for many sports and recreational applications.

Custom bag tags can be produced for:

  • Golf bags
  • Hockey bags
  • Softball bags
  • Baseball equipment
  • Soccer equipment
  • Gym bags
  • Team backpacks
  • Sports clubs
  • School athletic programs

Team logos, player names, numbers, sponsors, and other graphics can be included in the design.

Custom Luggage Tags for Events and Promotional Campaigns

Personalized plastic luggage tags can also be used as promotional merchandise, event gifts, conference giveaways, corporate gifts, and wedding favors.

Because the tag is a functional item rather than a disposable advertisement, recipients can continue using it on luggage or bags after the event.

For corporate programs, the design can be coordinated with existing brand guidelines, including logo placement, brand colors, typography, and promotional messaging.

Customization Options

A luggage tag can be customized across several different production elements.

Not every combination of material, thickness, finish, and printing method is suitable for every design. Production specifications should therefore be confirmed before an order is finalized.

How to Order Custom Plastic Luggage Tags

The customization process can be kept simple and straightforward.

1. Send Your Design

Provide your logo, artwork, dimensions, preferred colors, or other design information. AI, PSD, and PDF files are preferred.

2. Confirm Product Specifications

Confirm the material, size, thickness, surface finish, printing method, quantity, and accessories required for the project.

3. Review the Artwork

The design is checked against the production specifications. Any potential technical issues can be discussed before manufacturing.

4. Approve the Final Design

Quality Considerations for Custom Luggage Tags

A successful luggage tag should combine a clear design with a practical construction.

Important considerations include:

  • Sufficient material thickness for the intended use
  • Clear and durable printing
  • Appropriate surface finish
  • Correct dimensions
  • Secure attachment-hole placement
  • Legible text and identification information
  • Proper color reproduction
  • Suitable packaging for transportation

For designs containing small text, QR codes, or detailed graphics, artwork should be checked at the final production size rather than only at the original design dimensions.
