These are the options for the cargo tag badges I'll be doing:
1) Spray-on acrylic sealer on the left; protects the art while letting it appear as a normal shipping tag. Still susceptible to bending/tearing.
2) Laminate on the right.
3) Completely untreated if you want (not shown and not recommended).
and
A) Jute twine on the left, for that authentic 'you're being mailed to the museum of antiquities to be displayed alongside mummies and clay pots' look.
B) Keychain-length of ballchain on the right, for ease of stringing it onto a lanyard or a chain of badges.
Any combination of the above options is fine.
