Polypropylene and Vinyl? That's a plastic blend, the same stuff that your Credit Card is made out of. -from a luggage tag website

Mostly polyvinyl chloride acetate (PVCA) (and then magnetic tape, etc), but that's the plastic part.

Thanks guys. I had the same question on Yahoo! Answers for five hours, no answer. You answer here in minutes, and guess what? Someone at Yahoo! steals your answer. Scumbags ;)
