Baggage identification tags and methods of making and using the same

A label comprising:

• a substrate having a first side and a second side;
• a layer of adhesive coupled to the first side of the substrate;
• a liner coupled to the adhesive layer over the first side of the substrate, the liner having a first end, a second end, a first edge, and a second edge;
• a first cut extending through the liner and not through the substrate and extending from the first edge of the liner to the second edge of the liner;
• and
• a second cut extending through the liner and not through the substrate and extending from the first edge of the liner to the second edge of the liner, the second cut adjacent to the first cut and between the first cut and the second end;
• a third cut that extends through the substrate and not through the liner to divide the substrate into a first substrate portion and a second substrate portion,
• wherein the first cut and the second cut divide the liner into a first portion of the liner between the first cut and the first end, a second portion of the liner is formed between the first cut and the second cut, and a third portion of the liner between the second cut and the second end,
• wherein the first substrate portion forms the baggage claim check and the second substrate portion forms the baggage identification tag,
• wherein the first cut is separated from the first end by a first distance, the second cut is separated from the first cut by a second distance, and second end is separated from the second cut by a third distance, and the first distance and the third distance are greater than the second distance;
• and
• wherein peeling the liner from the first cut toward either the first end or the second end leaves the third portion of the liner attached to the second portion of the substrate.
