I ordered these labels together with Wings of the World labels (from the same company) to decorate a gift box (made from a copier paper box from work) that was made to look like one of those old timey steamer trunks. The real gift was a cruise but there were no tickets or anything to give. So instead, the gift was presented as a steamer trunk filled with cruise related items (random Royal Caribbean stuff bought from ebay). These stickers were the critical finishing touch. They adhered nicely to the box (which was wrapped in paper) and were very cool and retro looking. Not sure how well they would stick to a real steamer trunk or suitcase though. There was a decent variety of style in each sticker package and they were just the right size. They were precisely what I needed and worked perfectly. I liked the Golden Age of Transport pack better because it had a greater variety and included not only air travel stickers but train and boat as well. The Wings of the World only had air travel stickers. I'm not sure if they offer some sort of variety pack that includes air, boat and train travel as well as exotic locations and hotels in one pack. I would definitely buy these again. It might have been nice if these were pre-aged but that can probably be accomplished with some light sanding or something. I'll try to include some pics of the fake steamer trunk with the stickers.
I bought this set of luggage labels to decorate an old trunk (footlocker) for a travel themed room and I was very pleased with my purchase. These stickers are exactly what I was looking for. Before buying these stickers, I compared several different sticker collections and different manufacturers. I'm glad that I chose these stickers. They worked great for my project. They are a nice collection of truly exotic destinations. I paired this collection with the "Exotic Destinations Luggage Labels" from the same company to cover the entire trunk and to give it the look for a well-traveled old trunk. Both collections are die-cut and "peel and stick" decals and each sticker is approximately 4x6 inches (a nice size). I found them to adhere very well to the trunk. They are a bit shiny and do not look as vintage as I had hoped for but they still worked just fine for me (probably could easily be aged if desired). Overall, this is a very nice product and I wouldn't hesitate to buy these stickers again.
Perfect for my footlocker repurpose project. Covered the stickers with oak colored polyurethane for a more vintage look.
I'm using these to decorate some old luggage I found. I plan on displaying the well worn luggage in my home as a decorative item. These give the luggage an aged look. I found scruffing some with very fine grit sandpaper gave some a more vintage appearance. Perfect for scrapbooking or wrapping gifts.
I wanted to write this because it would have been helpful to me. I expected the stickers to look aged, and only one did. The others looked brand spanking new including the white border round each of them, which I cut off. Also, they were just all the same sized rectangle or oval, or circle, which put me off as you could not put two of the same shape near another. If you look at the way they are displayed on the "suitcase" they vary in size, not true. They are bright and interesting but a little effort could have made them so much more suitable to be used in a group to portray real luggage labels instead of looking like new stickers. I did find if you cut and shaped them, it would help and I plan on brushing some stain on them. They came in a cute box, but that was not helpful.
The adhisive isn't very good, they curl and fall right off. However the colors and designs are very nice and fun.
Redid an old trunk, and bought several boxes. I even antiqued over them and they did not run or bleed.
I love anything vintage, like these luggage labels. There are many creative uses for them. I've used them for scrapbooking, decorating old trunks/suitcases, and throwing together some cool collages with an antique/rustic theme. Whatever your project might be, you're bound to have a good time putting it together, and letting the memorabilia take you back to a simpler time!
