& items -- The most important thing is to put your name, email &
phone number(s) on your computer & all valuables packed.

What
are the text / thread colors are available? How
many names can I have on the strap?
When
you order the straps, and choose the quantity and name you wish embroidered,
you must also choose the text / thread color.
These text / thread colors are presented for your choice: Rich
Green, Real Red, Screaming Yellow, Royal Purple, Vibrant Orange, Ultra
Aqua, Neon Green, Shocking Hot Neon Pink, Pacific Blue, White, Black, Gold and
Silver. We only list those colors that will contrast with the strap
selection. We can accommodate other colors at additional charge.
-
How
many names can I have on the strap?
We embroidery the
name in one spot near the buckle – – but if the name is short we can
repeat it in the 30 character space. The
30 character limit is designed for a reason.
Because the straps are adjustable, names printed in more than one
spot can interfere with the adjustment on the straps and the name would wrap
around underneath the strap causing the name to be on the bottom of the
strap, next to the bag and unreadable. At one time we wove the name multiple times into the fabric.
However to do this the fabric had to be very thin.
This method was not practical because the thin strap was not rugged
enough, too flexible and would twist around itself.
-
Do
you offer luggage straps with TSA (USA Transportation Security
Administration) approved Locks on the buckles?
At
one time we did offer TSA locking buckles. We
no longer offer the straps with TSA locks because of the problems our
customers had clearing security; and the difficulty they had with check in
and baggage claims at the airports.
In addition, the straps were being cut by TSA/baggage personnel.
As a result we have discontinued offering straps with TSA locks.
-
Can
we have some straps designed specifically for our use?
Yes
we do offer many options for IDmyBag luggage straps including logos
embroidered on the luggage straps or printed on the buckles (see Samples
Page).
We do digitize the graphic and need you to email it to us as a *.tif, *.eps
or large high quality *.jpg file. Email us
at cs@IDmyBag.com or give us a call.
-
The
size of my bag may be too small or too large for the straps. Do you have
longer or shorter straps?
The
universal straps are adjustable and may be lengthened or shortened with the adjustable
slide. This enables you to snug-up the strap around the bag.
You can also wrap the strap around a couple of times to snug it up as in use
with ski or golf travel bags. If the bag is very large, you can snap 2
straps together for an extension and make the adjustment. When you place the
order if you do not put personalization on the strap, the cost is only $9.95
each.
-
How
do I clean my IDmyBag.com Luggage straps? Washing your
IDmyBag.com luggage straps is easy. Simply shorten the strap all the way and push the buckle together to the closed position. If necessary, use
a spot cleaner like SPRAY-n-WASH® on stains. Place the strap in a small mesh laundry bag and toss into the washer with other similar colored
clothing, and set on cold water, and a light to medium cycle. When finished hang up to air dry.
