With baggage tags, they are removed after each trip (unless you want your bag to go someplace else from you). So that would seem to make much more sense.
Uh, the stickers are affixed to the baggage tags. It would do no good to re-use the same baggage tag because the dates, times and destination would not match. Also, we would see the sticker prior to loading, which would draw our attention. I usually remove old baggage tags to prevent any mix-ups by the airlines.
