If you have a photo printer, print them on 4" x 6" / 102 mm x 152 mm 72 lb photo paper stock. Then insert into one of those 4" x 6" / 102 mm x 152 mm photo key chain thingies for additional protection. Just be sure to get one of those Lucite thingies that come without any frame and print the tags boarderless. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

However, at least for now, I will simply stick to what seemed to work so well before, and as once again, described below. "All the ones I've printed out are one-up on a standard sheet of 8-1/2' x 11" paper. There are fold lines to fold the sheet vertically into 3 sections, that then makes for a relatively thick tag. As for printing on adhesive labels, your really only need the adhesive part at the ends, so tape or stapling works just as well, and is a lot cheaper." It looks like what you are describing would have made good little luggage tags, more for identification purposes. However, by simply printing out the actual luggage tags to board the ship itself, the format of 8-1/2" x 11", folded three ways, is what the baggage handlers will be looking for. No point in re-inventing the wheel. John Sisker |
