Bag Drop Tags for Races and Events
Numbered plastic bag drop tags that survive rain, mud and being thrown into the back of a van — then get used again next year. CP Cards prints durable, sequentially numbered bag tags for running races, triathlons, cycling sportives and festivals, manufactured in England since 1992.
Cardboard tags get soggy and torn by mile one of the bag drop queue. Plastic tags cost more once and then cost nothing for years.
Sequential numbering, any range
Every tag is printed with a unique number in whatever range matches your event — 1 to 500, 1001 to 3000, or split ranges for multiple bag drop zones. We can also print matching pairs, so one tag attaches to the bag and the matching number goes to the participant.
Sponsor branding that actually gets seen
A bag drop tag is handled twice by every participant and seen by everyone in the queue. Printing a sponsor logo on the reverse turns a piece of race logistics into a sponsorship asset you can sell — full colour, both sides, no extra hassle.
Built for reuse
The tags are rigid waterproof plastic with a punched hole (5mm diameter, positioned anywhere around the card edge, approximately 5mm in). Elastic loops, cable ties or straps are not supplied — the hole is ready for whatever fitting your event already uses. Collect them at the finish, wipe them down, box them up. Clubs and event organisers typically reuse the same set for years, which makes the cost per event trivial.

Bag Drop Tag FAQs
Are the tags numbered sequentially?
Yes. We print sequential numbering in any range you choose, and can print matching pairs so one tag goes on the bag and the matching number goes to the runner.
Can the tags be reused for future events?
Yes. They are rigid waterproof plastic, so most organisers reuse the same set of tags for many years.
Can we include a sponsor logo?
Yes. Tags are printed in full colour on one or both sides, so a sponsor logo on the reverse is no extra trouble.
What size are the tags and how do they attach?
Standard tags are credit card size, 86 x 54 mm, with a punched hole (5mm diameter, positioned anywhere around the edge). Fittings such as elastic loops or cable ties are not supplied.
What is the minimum order?
25 cards, with a standard turnaround of 7 working days from proof approval and payment.
