Abstract

Provided is a luggage tag (10) that is attachable to the handle (32) of a piece of luggage and is comprised of an elongate strip of flexible material. A longitudinal fold line (18) is scored into the tag and extends from one end (14) to terminate at a detachable ticket (22) that is integrally formed in the center of the tag and extends from the terminus of the fold line to the other end of the tag. Tongues are formed in the tag on each side of the detachable ticket. The detachable ticket and tongues are configured and arranged so that removal of the ticket allows passage of the handle between the tongues. The tag is then folded along the fold line and the tongues are joined to enclose the handle, thereby securing the tag to the handle.
