Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:31:23 -0500

We are very excited to tell you about our new personalized photo SCUBA mask strap. Using dye-sublimation technology, we are able to infuse the photo image directly into the neoprene cover material. It will stretch and won't crack or crinkle like a silk-screen image tends to do.

Imagine a photo of your favorite underwater critter. I took this picture in Bonaire about a year and half ago.

This is the first in a new line of products we will be developing over the next couple of months so stay tuned!

YourBagTag Adds Personalized Wetsuit Zipper Pull

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:55:10 -0500

We developed a new line of personalized wetsuit zipper pulls. After a recent diving trip aboard the Caribbean Explorer II, a liveaboard dive boat, we kept having trouble picking our wetsuit out from the other 5 hanging on the back deck that looked just like ours. Hey, black wetsuits are just like black pieces of luggage! They need brightly colored personalized tags to help pick them out of the crowd. In keeping with our other product names, we are calling them YourZipTags™. They are made of the same high-quality polypropylene webbing as our other Scuba products. The YourZipTag is 3/4" wide and is approximately 24 inches long (the same length as the stock zipper pull currently on your wetsuit).

Own a dive or surf shop that rents wetsuits out? Your wetsuits will stand out on that crowded beach or dive boat. Add your URL and you have a great advertisement for your shop.

How about a dive or surf club? Add your club name or nickname to the YourZipTag.

New YourOwnTag™ - Create Your Own Bag Tag Masterpiece

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 06:25:53 -0500

Over the past year we have received many requests for a blank version of our YourBagTags. Yesterday we made our new YourOwnTag available on our website. It is a blank version of our very popular YourBagTag. Made out of the same quality materials and you can select from 22 vibrant colored, sturdy ribbon handles.

Like all our other YourBagTags, inside each tag, behind a velcro flap, is a blank address card or you can slide in one of your own business cards.

Currently the tag only comes in black since some of the fabric paints we tested tended leave a dark outline around the painted area. We are continuing to test other fabric paints to see if we can find a solution.

These tags make perfect inexpensive gifts for your friends, families, teachers, coaches, and others. It is a great project for your art class, scout troop or after-school activity.

We offer a set of 6 iridescent Scribbles® fabric paints from Duncan.

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 06:15:47 -0500

We started YourBagTag two years ago and to keep our costs down, our logo was just colorizing each of the word segments in YourBagTag with a different color - YourBagTag. We wanted a new logo that would represent our company in a bit more playful and whimsical way. We think our new logo captures that really well while holding on to our the roots of our simple start.

These personalized SCUBA tags make perfect gifts for those divers in your life. YourTankTags are only available in black webbing.

Make Your Own Bag Tags ~ Turn a Fun Project into Great Gifts for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays.

Sun, 04 May 2008 09:30:14 -0500

We are developing an idea that is a result of a number of you requesting "blank" YourBagTags. This would allow you to create an truly unique YourBagTag with your favorite fabric paint, markers, etc. To test the idea and the materials (paint) that would properly adhere to the tags, we asked a group of 8 year-old girls from our village's Girl Scout Brownie Troop to create their own YourBagTags with our blanks and fabric paint.

As you can see by the images on the left, they were very creative indeed. 8 years old is probably about as young as you would want to offer this type of project to. Handling the liquid paint is a bit tricky and requires a pretty steady hand. We thought we would offer the blank tags in a variety of our current base tag colors including black, red, neon green, bright blue, and pink but not all tag colors take the paint well (tend to bleed). All of our handle colors would be available as a choice.

The price would be $4.95 per tag with quantity price breaks above 50, 100, and 500+. We are also thinking of offering the a fabric paint set.

So are you looking for a great summer fun craft project or a unique and creative gift? How about a personalized luggage tag for Mom, Dad, Grandma, or your favorite teacher? Drop us an email and let us know what you think!
