Where are duffel bags typically marked?

Duffel bags are typically marked on the outside, specifically on the bottom of the bag. This practice is important for identification purposes, especially in situations where multiple bags may be present, such as in a training environment or deployment scenario. Marking the bottom of the bag helps ensure that the owner's name and other identifiers are visible when the bag is placed down, facilitating easier retrieval and reducing the likelihood of confusion with other bags.

Marking the inside of the bag would not provide visibility when the bag is in use, while markings on the side or top might not be as easily noticed in crowded or stacked situations. Therefore, placing the identification on the bottom maximizes visibility and practicality.
