Regular Practical Hacks readers know that I’m not a fan of checking luggage, but if you have to, you might as well make sure that your bag stands out from all the other bags on the carousel.
A firm called AcryliGlow Designs offers – naturally – acrylic luggage tags in fluorescent colors. The tags can accommodate a business card ($6.99 per tag) or can be engraved with your data ($10 per tag.)
The tags are available in your choice of 6 colors, are a full 1/4″ thick, and come equipped with a 9″ bag loop.
You can find them by clicking here; I have no relationship with AcryliGlow, BTW. Want a low cost alternative? Tie some brightly colored yarn on the handle of your bag.

As an alternative to yarn to mark my bags, I like to use some duct tape wrapped around the main handle and end handles. I use some fluorescent orange tape I picked up from Wal-Mart, but discovered many, many more colors are available at a good hardware store. If you wrap the tape around several times back on itself, it is also reusable for emergency repairs or even to cover blisters from walking (something I learned from hiking).
