Member Education: Luggage Tag, February 6th

LUGGAGE TAG
This luggage tag can be used to identify much more than your luggage. Use it for musical instruments, baby bags, sports equipment, camera case, sewing machine carrier, and on and on. Let your imagination roll. Use distinctive fabric to quickly locate your item among all of the routine labeling used by others.
