How to Personalize Luggage
If you're tired of watching black bag after black bag circle the carousel at the airport, personalize your luggage. Not only will you get out of the airport faster, you'll reduce the chances that a thief will get away with your belongings undetected. If your luggage is lost or delayed, a unique appearance will help the airline locate it as well. Make sure your personalization techniques will withstand the wear and tear of travel.
