So that’s what happened to my beloved old elite tags.

They were sturdy. They make the best luggage tags when I put one of those elite address tags on them. They made my bags standout. In the last couple of years, they slowly disappeared on those rare occasions when I had to check bags. Now I am back to those flimsy paper ones.
