Labels are adhesive backed and are vinyl-very durable; will withstand freezing and extreme heat temperatures. Helps to easily identify personal luggage or equipment (car seats, skiing equipment, sports equipment, golf bags, tents, etc.)

Package include:

2 Small Labels: "This Bag Belongs to:"

2 large Labels: "This is Not your Bag"

My husband and I were avid fans of the “Donny Deutsch Show” where he showcases the newest inventions of people and what the product is. He always challenged his audience to: ‘find a niche that wasn’t being satisfied and then create something that would make it easier to accomplish”. I was once in an airport and passed a carousel that had an old black piece of luggage with the words “not your bag” written in white out! I knew there was a need to be able to identify your luggage quickly so that others would not mistakenly pick your bag up thinking it was theirs. Eighty percent of the luggage in the airports today is black and looks about the same. There are countless pieces of luggage and bags lost every month creating frustration and loss of thousands of dollars (for the airline and the traveler). This is an easy fix and it really does make the task of getting your luggage quick and easy.

Inventor: Terry Dunning

Terry Dunning has created a few products in the past 30 years. The first one was a diaper rash ointment with a flip-top cap that would heal a baby’s tender and red bottom overnight! Another product is a way to find your car easily in a large parking lot and another is a way to sanitize hotel bath-tubs quickly and easily.

Terry’s reasoning is that there must be a need that is not currently being fulfilled and then create an answer to that need.

These sassy little messages on the labels are customize-able! A company or organization can create their own message and offer the same ability of spotting your personal property quickly and easily. Also, a great fundraiser for Chruches and schools.

Not Your Bag (Labels)

I usually tie a string around my bag, but not a bad idea

Simple new way to Help Keep New Drivers Safe. Let others know that there is a new driver on the road by placing a Magnet on the back of the car (line of sight for cars), and a cling in the window (line of sight for truckers).

Tell others to ‘back off’ nicely. Stop the honking and tailgating. Anything that we can do to make the roads a bit safer!

Having gone through 2 new drivers and that experience, and hearing from almost 20 Moms in one day how people were bothering their kids as they were trying to teach them to drive, Karen Klayman a concerned Mom of 3 thought ‘There must be something we can do.” Her husband Alan helped design and create the name STUDENT at the wheel®. They Trademarked that name, along with others, built some prototypes, went to a DMV and asked people their opinion. They liked them. Actually they wanted to buy them. So the Klayman’s had some made ‘In the USA’, went to a Flea market to see if their ‘Great Idea’ would sell. It did. They put them in some local stores, and regional, and a national chain. Wherever the owner/manager likes the idea, it sells.

Inventor: Karen Klayman

Karen Klayman is a Mom of 3 and an inventor. Everyone talks to her. Wherever she goes people tell her their story, and she thinks of products that fit their situation. People buy STUDENT at the wheel® right from her whenever she talks to them about it. And she doesn’t think she can ‘sell’. Which is because she doesn’t sell. She genuinely cares about people, especially kids, and wants everyone’s lives to be that much better. Karen has a bunch of ideas, mostly for kids and their parents, and is waiting to launch the next invention soon…

Face to face over 75% of the sales are either to Teens or influenced by Teens. The Pop Art, Cheetah, and Pink Zebra were all suggested by Teens and designed by their daughter Nicole. The car in the ads and on the packaging is Tyler’s (Klayman son #2), and Tyler took the picture. It really is a Teen driven, family affair.

ThIs product is awsome, I bought it for my teenage son because I think that it's important for kids to be safe. In his words he says it's,"sick" so I think that this product will make it big.
