Some popular questions we're often asked:

Q: What are crew tags?

A: Crew tags are plastic baggage labels. They were originally used by airline crews to quickly identify their bags from the passengers' own luggage. In days gone by crews would have to wait til they got a trip to Singapore or Bombay and have them made at specialist market stalls.Now you can order one at the click of a mouse!

Q: What are the tag's made of and how do you make them?

A: The tags are made from tough PVC plastic (30 "mil" thick!). That's like the plastic you'll find in your own credit card - in fact they're the same size! We make them using special printing  equipment that gases each colour pixel into the tag. On the back we do the same with whatever text you choose to have on it. For you, the customer, that means the colour and text will never rub off. Cool or what?!

Q: Do I *have* to sign up for Paypal to buy a tag?

A: NO! If you're paying by credit card there is an option to "continue without registering" on the left hand side of the screen. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Electron, Delta, & Amex via our Paypal site. Some countries won't allow you to use your credit card via Paypal (such as the UAE) - in this instance we recommend you using the Google Checkout option. However, please note that for reasons way beyond our control Google only accept Visa, Mastercard & Maestro cards. Which means if you're in the UAE with an AMEX card, you're snookered!

Q: I can't see the tag and/or company I'm looking for?

A: Contact us! We're only too pleased to help and we'll do our best to include it as soon as possible (sometimes the same day!)  Click here to send an email to us now.

Q: How do I pay for these - the Paypal / Google Checkout is confusing?

A: You're right it is! However, we're a small company and because of the low price of goods we sell, it's not economical at the moment to use a bank to process our debit/credit cards (they typically charge 50p per transaction). If you have a Paypal account, use it! It's the simplest way and it gives you added security should the package go missing en route to you (not that it should!).

Q: Are you anything to do with crewtags.com or koolkrew.com?

A: No! Respect where respect is due as Crewtags.com was the original online crewtag website. They're based in the USA and have their own following. However, "Koolkrew.com" appears to be a very bad rip-off of our crew tags idea! Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery - allegedly - and for that we thank you kool-krew boys!!

Q: Can I send you my own design?

A: Of course! However, we do need a certain "quality" to be able to process it. Ideally the design should be in Photoshop PSD or Adobe PDF format for us to print it easily. The exact size of the tag is 1016 x 642 pixels, any larger and we have to crop. Any smaller and we'd lose quality. Confused? Speak us via the link on red bar above. Oh, and unlike other dodgy "krew-tag" websites we don't charge any extra for your own designs! I mean why would we - you're doing the hard work!!

Q: Do you sell laminated P.A. books?

A: Er, no. That's something only your airline is authorised to supply (and the contents can change by the day). Beware of dodgy websites claiming to sell such things!!

Q: I'm in the United Arab Emirates and for some reason I can't use my card to pay and I'm very frustrated that I can't order from your fantastic website!

A: We know! Use a "web tunnel" - or just contact us at uae@tags4crew.com

Q: I'm not airline-crew, can I still order a crew tag?

A: Yes! Having a crew tag on your luggage doesn't give you (or anyone else!) special-status or allow access to security area's - so yes, you can!

Q: How do I use the silly rubber loop to attach the crew tag to my bag?!

A: Yes we know they're confusing! Trust us though, they're much safer than the leather-strap type ones. They'll never work themselves undone if fitted correctly and they'll stretch forever!  Click here (coming soon) to see our step by step guide!

Q: Can I pay by Amex?

A: Indeed you can... but you'll have to use the standard checkout option (i.e. Paypal) rather than Google Checkout. This is because Google don't currently process Amex.

Q: How long do the tags take to arrive after I order them?

A: That depends on where you live really! We will inform you by email when we send them out.

Q: Can I order 5000 tags for my airline?

A: er... well, go on then! Contact us via the "Corporate" email link on contact-us above.

Q: If I want my tags in a rush, can I pay extra for faster delivery?

A: Speak to us! We only ever charge you the postage we have to pay. We may be able to help.

Q: I live in Timbuktu, can I still order from you?

A: You Bet! We ship all over the world (at only the cost!). Sometimes Paypal or Google can't process payments from certain countries. If this is the case contact us and we'll do our best to help.
