Luggage tag for the move

On the luggage tag

For graduates moving to a new city or abroad for study or work. The phone number and city go on the back, so the tag is useful from day one.

Who buys these gifts

Graduation gifts come from parents, grandparents and friends, and they lean towards something useful for the next step. Farewell gifts are bought for someone leaving: a classmate, a teacher retiring, a colleague moving on. Both happen in waves, with the biggest one at the end of the academic year.

There is also the group order. A class rep or a farewell committee collects money and wants something for everyone, with each person's name on it. That is where bulk orders come in.

How to offer it

Split your posts into two offers. The first is a personal gift: a desk name plate with the new title, or a luggage tag for someone moving away. The second is the batch offer: a tag or keychain for every student in the class, with their name and year.

For batch orders, agree the exact line under the name first (the year, the class or the college name) so every piece matches. Then ask for the name list in one go. Send an approval picture of the longest name before you print, so there are no surprises when the tags are handed out.

Our guide to school name tags in bulk covers collecting names, quoting and packing for a group, and the same steps apply to farewell batches.

Tips for graduation and farewell orders

Check titles carefully: Dr., Adv., Er. and similar prefixes matter to the buyer.
For someone moving abroad, ask which phone number to put on the luggage tag.
Test QR links on your phone before printing the keychain.
Pack batch orders in list order so the rep can hand them out in class.
Keep a photo of the finished batch for your next year's posts.

Questions

How do I handle a whole batch or class order?

Ask one person, usually a class rep or teacher, to send the list of names in one message. On the Seller plan, paste the list into a bulk order and you get a ZIP with one file per student.

When are graduation and farewell orders busiest?

Around the end of the school and college year, and whenever colleagues leave a job. Batch orders need more time, so post your cut-off date early.

How should I price a batch of tags?

Quote a per-piece price with a minimum quantity, and lower the price at larger quantities. Price single gifts like desk plates separately, since they take longer to print.

Which colours should I suggest?

School or college colours are a safe start for batch tags. For desk plates, plain dark or neutral colours suit most offices.
