Fellowes Hot Laminating Pouches, Luggage ID Tag with Loop, 5 mil, 25 Pack (52003)

We often take cruises and find that the luggage tags the cruise line send are either flimsy or easily ripped off the bag during handling. We find that by printing the tags out and adjusting the size to match the Fellowes plastic sleeves. Once run thru our laminator we attach the tags to the bags with the included plastic loops. Easy peasy! No worries. If you have ever had your bag mishandled, you do whatever you can to avoid another occurrence.

Was disappointed because many of the pouches didn't seal. Also it is not possible to use the enclosed loops to attach to a bag, the loops will go through the pouches but you have to use another clip to attach to a bag.

When I go on a trip I like to put a prominent luggage tag on almost everything. Not just the checked bags, but carry on, sling bag, camera etc.I used these with an inexpensive "Purple Cows" laminator (which I recommend as well), which you can buy on Amazon. (yes, you will need a laminator) They are very easy to use, and laminate well, without gaps or air bubbles. For personal stuff I simple used a return address label with my home address which I put inside the sleeve. For business items, a business card.So far I'm very satisfied. The only negative I see is that the plastic is very thin, thinner than some other laminated tags I've seen. Although they are holding up, I worry that if they were snagged on something, they tear could pull lose from the cord. However, so far, so good.Overall I can recommend these, good quality, easy to use, and you can't beat the price.UPDATE: We recently returned from a trip out of the country. These tags were on our checked luggage adn carry on. They survived a couple of plane changes, plus the extra handling bags get going through Customs. When I got home the tags were still attached and intact.

These tags are versatile and durable! We first bought them a couple of years ago to make luggage tags after someone gave us a laminator (that we had NO idea what to do with). We've since expanded into making name tags, bag, tags, gift tags, etc! They are durable even on our little one's diaper, lunch and school bags.Also, I am a bit of a klutzy laminator, so even the times that I accidentally put 2 through too close together, it was easy to peel back the tags from each other, re-run it through the machine, and they came out great!Pros: The tags are durable and hold up well. They don't peel or bend easily. You can use them for so many things, PLUS, they come with the loops!!Cons: The only con, which is probably more of a pro, is that the tags are thick enough that for a home laminator, you have to sometimes run it through the machine 2x for it to fully seal.This time around, we're making nametags for goodie bags for the little one's bithday. Love love love these.

So I actually bought these thinking that they were thicker plastic laminating pouches for large pieces of paper and when they got here and I saw that they were for like ID badges or airport suitcase badges I was completely caught off guard, but I have still been using them for other little things that I want to create and I am overall completely happy with this mistake purchase 😅🤣😂.

I don't understand the complaint in another review as these were the right size for business cards: I've laminated several of my "official" standard size business cards as well as some of the Avery clean edge business cards with no problem at all. This is so easy even my 8 year old was able to do a couple with minimal instruction.The package comes with two packages inside: one containing the laminate / film and the other with the heavy duty plastic tags. I'd recommend just slitting the tops off of the main bag as well as the two inside bags of the film and tags in order to keep them for easier storing, otherwise parts just seem to go everywhere.I initially bought the 25 pack as I was trying this version out, but if you will look here on Amazon the 50 count bag is just a couple of dollars more than the 25 count bag and is more economical.

By using a laminating these pouches twice I was able to create an extremely durable name tag. I first laminated the name tag in a single pouch and then trimmed the edges so that it would fit in a second pouch. I then ran both pouches through the laminating machine again and had a name tag that is almost impossible to tear. The pouches seem durable enough that I probably did not need to take this extra step, but I was going on an international trip where my luggage would be handle several times and I did not want to take the chance of the name tags tearing off of my luggage. After I arrived home, I examined the name tags and they did not look like they had worn at all.

These were delivered in a smashed box with 50 loops and NO laminating pouches!!
