A novel system for dispensing tickets wherein a continuous strip is individuated into separate units by the force of users pulling each individual luggage tag through an aperture located at one end of a dispensing mechanism having a detent mechanism for shearing pre-scored and pre-arranged tickets that is used in combination with an interference and/or ramped spacing mechanism. The same may be mounted in a stanchion, on any existing environmental structure, or in a counter, and may include rectangular, rolled and alternatively shaped housing. Particularly useful for luggage tagging applications, a self-engaging ticket-like article may be used with existing guidance systems and an optional writing surface to allow users to procure and apply identifying indicia to such articles for marking luggage on an expedited basis while traveling.
