- Why It’s Bad: Ribbons fray, snag, or detach during transit, leaving your luggage vulnerable.
- Handler Insight: "A torn-off ribbon means losing your ID tag—or worse, damaging the zipper/handle it was tied to."
5. Misidentification Risks
- Why It’s Bad: Ribbons can obscure barcodes, luggage tags, or airline labels.
- Handler Insight: "If we can’t scan your bag, it might end up on the wrong flight—or in ‘lost luggage’ limbo."
Smart Alternatives to Ribbons
- Colorful Luggage: Choose a distinctive suitcase color/pattern.
- Luggage Tags: Use a durable, attached tag with your contact info.
- Straps or Bands: Opt for a brightly colored strap (less likely to tangle).
- Stickers/Decals: Add fun, flat designs that won’t interfere with handling.
Final Tip: If you must decorate, use a small, flat embellishment away from zippers or handles. Prioritize function over flair—your luggage (and the handlers!) will thank you. ✈️
