The 6 Types of Promotional Luggage Tag and How to Use Them

If your clients, prospective customers or employees travel frequently then using promotional luggage tags as corporate gifts could form part of an effective marketing campaign. Branded tags aren't just useful for travel businesses - all businesses can use them, especially around the holiday season when people are jetting off on their travels.

Luggage tags come in 6 types which all have their different advantages and uses. Read on to learn more about each one.

Metal Luggage Tags

Metal luggage tags are commonly made from aluminium or stainless steel and can have a matte or shiny finish. Fastenings vary, but metal cord fastenings are common on metal luggage tags which makes them very sturdy and unlikely to be lost. Metal luggage tags are also very durable so are likely to last a long time, even if your client travels a lot!

Metal luggage tags have a high-end feel that professional customers will love

With metal luggage tags you can choose to have your logo printed or engraved. Engraved logos look elegant and subtle and are in keeping with the metallic style - they also tend to last longer. Printed logos are more vivid and can be more eyecatching. It's up to you which branding method you choose - you should consider your clients' tastes as well as your brand image. If you are a business with a youthful, fun image and are looking to gain as much exposure as possible, a brightly coloured printed logo will be the way to go.

Plastic Luggage Tags

Promotional plastic luggage tags are made from sturdy plastic that can be knocked and battered and remain undamaged. Available in plenty of colour options, plastic luggage tags offer you maximum brand personalisation. They often have buckle style straps that can be adjusted for the size of the suitcase and which offer plenty of security.

Plastic luggage tags can be matched with all kinds of different brands thanks to the felxibility of their branding options. Plastic tags can also be made from clear plastic, with space for a paper insert to display your branding.
