About Us

Torpey Tags was created to solve a long‑standing problem for Royal Caribbean cruisers: paper luggage tags that tear, smudge, fall off, or require folding, taping, cutting, or stuffing into fragile sleeves.

Overview

Torpey Tags provides durable, ready‑to‑use luggage tags made from rigid PVC at credit‑card thickness. Each tag is custom printed with your Royal Caribbean boarding information and delivered to your door, ready to attach to your luggage. Our mission is simple:

Book it. Pack it. Tag it. Set Sail.

History

I’ve been cruising with Royal Caribbean since 2006. Over the years, I’ve folded, taped, stapled, cut, and stuffed hundreds of paper luggage tags. Every cruise, I found myself thinking the same thing — there has to be a better way.

Removing old tags often tore the sleeves. Humidity made tape peel. Staples snagged fabric. The whole process was tedious and unreliable.

Development

In 2024, I began researching a permanent replacement. After testing multiple materials, I found that PVC at 0.76 mm thickness (the same as a credit card) was the perfect solution. It’s durable enough to survive:

  • Car loading

  • Airline baggage handling

  • Cruise‑terminal stacking

During early prototypes, I referred to them as “my tags.” Friends and family started calling them “Torpey’s tags,” and the name stuck — Torpey Tags became the official brand.

Today, Torpey Tags offers:

  • Durable PVC Royal Caribbean luggage tags

  • Stainless steel attachment loops in multiple sizes

  • Ready‑to‑use tags delivered directly to your home

Whether you’re a new cruiser, a seasoned cruiser, or buying a gift for someone heading out to sea, Torpey Tags makes embarkation day easier, faster, and stress‑free.
