In one embodiment, a luggage article (100) is disclosed. The luggage article (100) includes a shell (102) with forming an internal storage volume (166). A recess (140) is formed in the shell (102) and includes a base wall (152) that defines a substantially planar surface (142), and a first peripheral wall (144) that at least partially surrounds the base wall (152) and forms a peripheral shape (146) in the shell (102). The luggage article (100) includes an identification tag assembly (112) including: a display body (122) defining a second peripheral shape (150) and configured to receive an information element (128) configured to display information (164), and a first attachment element (130); a second attachment element (132) coupled to the shell (102) proximate to the recess (140). The first attachment element (130) and the second attachment element (132) together releasably secure the display body (122) to the shell (102) in the recess (140).

Systems and methods include tamper-evident indicators applied to a band comprising a strap that forms a closed loop. Tamper-evident sections of the indicators provide increased security against accidental and intentional removal of the indicators. Indicators are provided with adhesives and bare areas devoid of adhesive allowing easy and secure application of indicators to bands while they are being worn and with greater ease. Indicators can be further provided with liners protecting the adhesives allowing the indicators to be easily applied by gloved hands, reducing contamination risks. Contamination and wear risks can be further reduced by supplying indicators with antimicrobial surfaces and overprint varnishing.

A labeling article includes an elastic substrate and a tag. The elastic substrate has first and second opposed surfaces and a cut. The tag has third and fourth opposed major surfaces. An entirety of the third major surface overlies a portion of the first major surface. The third major surface is bonded to the first major surface. At least a portion of the tag is positioned adjacent the cut. In another aspect, a labeling article includes a first member and a second member. The first member is formed of an elastic material that includes a fastening opening therein and an interior portion that projects into the fastening opening. The second member is formed of an inelastic material that overlies at least the interior portion. The second and first members are bonded together. A composite web of labeling articles includes an elastic material web and first and second tag material strips.

A fastener device adapted for attaching at least one tag (or other identifier) to an object. The fastener device comprises a T-bar component, a paddle component, and a filament component flexibly attached to both the T-bar component on one end and the paddle component on the other end. In some embodiments, the fastener device is deployable via a fastener dispensing device comprising a needle designed to puncture a hole in at least one tag and the object while also inserting the T-bar component through the hole. Once inserted, the paddle component exerts a cantilever spring force against at least one tag holding the tag(s) securely against the object.

A luggage scale and identification tag system is a combination identification tag and luggage weight scale system having a body with a clear plastic card insert for displaying a business card or other visual identification means on one side and a scale with a display face and graduated weight measurements on the other side. The scale has a spring mechanism that is able to indicate a weight when loaded; the indication via mechanical (analog) means. Simplified versions may just be connectable to luggage via a tie strap.

A display apparatus has a panel for receiving and/or displaying advertising material. The apparatus also includes a connector that is attachable to the panel, and a fastener for removably connecting the panel to a pipe of a beverage font. The fastener is removably attachable to the connector in two or more orientations.

A printable structure is configured to create a temporary bind as one half of a hook and loop connection with another half of the hook and loop connection. The printable structure includes a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a print-receptive topcoat. The substrate has two opposing surfaces including a fastening surface that is one of a hook fastening surface and a loop fastening surface of the hook and loop connection and including a textured surface that is textured with surface relief in a direction parallel to a direction of thickness of the printable structure. The adhesive layer is coupled to the textured surface of the substrate. The print-receptive topcoat is coupled to the adhesive layer on a side opposite the substrate. The adhesive layer fills in the surface relief such that there are no un-filled gaps beneath the print-receptive topcoat to level the print-receptive topcoat.

A labeling article and a method of use and assembly of the labeling article, where the labeling article comprises a label, an elastic securing band, and a release liner, and where the elastic securing band is configured to be stretched to define a loop between the elastic securing band and the release liner.
