I can't advise about air travel and luggage tags, but those tags are a gripe with me.
Most definitely a first world problem, but it annoys me.
Spent a gazillion dollars on a grill cabin and we have to print our own, paper tags?
Bring a stapler? tape? ugh. And we shouldn't be forced to track down and buy the little holders!
Even the most mundane of cruise lines, give you actual plastic tags, usually with your name and cabin number!
Yeah, I know, cost cutting, but it annoys me and now I'm done with my rant.....(giggle!)
