Yes, it's a metal cable with a threaded end and a nut attachment on the other end that, when connected, forms a circle.
It's not difficult, but it doesn't open until you do.
I just gave it a shot. You can force it in with some effort because the tag is pliable and a credit card is stiff; however, a business card would prefer the strength and would likely be badly damaged in the process of trying to work it in. br>br>However, the dimensions are very close. You could probably trim a sliver off one of the card's long edges to make it fit.
To open the cover, you must first unscrew the cable. The name tag, however, can be read without opening the cover.

This is fantastic. Thickness is excellent. As an added bonus, I used vinyl to write our last name and phone number.
These appeared to be fantastic at first, but as soon as I tried to fill out the personal data card and insert it into the holder, I realized there was a serious design flaw. During my travels, I noticed that the soft vinyl material was constantly opening up, allowing the inner information form to fall out. Every time the luggage was handled, I had to double-check it. This isn't a good investment. However, the cable system appeared to be in good working order, and the holder did not tear during a two-week trip around Europe.
These appear to be exceptional in the following ways: (1) are an intensely bright color that makes a luggage carousel easily identifiable (2) are made of indestructible metal (3) are made of extremely strong material that is unlikely to break or tear during airport handling (4) are relatively light weight for their strength (5) have plenty of room inside for ID information, which is hidden behind a cover until someone goes looking for it. I've only taken a couple of trips with these, but they're still brand new, and I travel around the world several times a year for business, so I'm interested to see how they hold up over time. I've been replacing my luggage tags on a regular basis for the past 25 years because they get torn apart, broken, and lost in airport handling machinery and aircraft stowage. These seem to be the best of all time.
I've now made it through two flights on my check-in list. The luggage tags, which have been in my luggage and accompanying me on my daily commute for several weeks, appear to be holding up well to normal wear and tear. I printed my address on paper that I cut to size with my laser printer so that it would be easily legible when needed. I like that my address is not visible to someone looking at the tag, but it does require a conscious effort (e. g. by lost luggage) in order to determine the owner's name, address, and phone number. The attachment method (steel cable and knurled screw connectors) is extremely durable, and it is simple to detach if necessary. My wife was so taken with mine that she ordered a black set for herself. This book comes highly recommended.
The color, design, and metal loops all appeal to me, but one of the metal loops' end has come undone, rendering it useless. It is suggested that quality control be improved.
The tag's bodies are made of a tough silicone rubber. Include a name tag made of notecard-weight paper with a protective plastic overlay. Others expressed dissatisfaction with clasps that had become loose or that they couldn't open. It's possible they didn't tighten the clasps or the barrel connector was cross threaded. I bought the black ones because the information on the tag was only visible if the cover was lifted. br>br>When I got mine, I had to make a few "fixes. " To prevent the tags from becoming unreadable due to moisture and rain, I ran them through a laminator. As a precaution, I used a small dab of purple low strength loctite threadlocker on the threads. I'd buy it again. br>br>.
The orange ones were the ones we got. They're big and flexible, and while you can see the pen marks through the privacy flap, it's not clear enough to read what's on them. Turning the metal cord into a circle shape while trying to screw the thing together took a few tries for me, but after a few tries, it became more flexible. The screw isn't the simplest move, but that might be a good thing because I don't want the tag to be removed easily. The metal cord also runs through a hole in the privacy flap, requiring the reader to only open the flap slightly and look at an angle in order to read the tag. So far, they appear to be sturdy, and the privacy flap remains closed.
They're also really sturdy, and I like the wire attachments, which are much less likely to break in transit (I've had key rings made of the same material that lasted for eons). My previous tags were lovely leather with straps that lasted a long time before ripping off on my most recent trip. I decided to look for something more durable and searched for a long time before settling on these. They might live longer than I do!.
