To tag, or not to tag?

I've been working on reorganizing my collection and I've been wondering what I should do with all my figures tags. I currently tend to keep the tags on figures that come with, I don't know why, I just do; but, it doesn't necessarily make for the cleanest looking display.

So, I want to know, what do you all do with your tags? Do you cut them, remove them and save them, or what?

I remove all tags and boxes from my figures. The tags are small enough, so I can store them all in a plastic container and not worry about it. They all take very little space. The boxes sometimes I throw away, when they are not particularly appealing. For instance, the Mattel Jurassic World toys, I dispose of all boxes, since they are not really space friendly, not very interesting and all of them look the same. As for the more refined boxes, like Rebor, PNSO, I keep most of them.

In my collection, I don't display my figures with tags, but I like saving them. I keep the tags in a drawer. However, I have the cards that come with the Eofauna figures on display next to their respective models.

The labels together with the comparative figures of Collecta or the Humbold Museum have them stored in drawers, I have come to cut information from the boxes of Battat dinosaurs and other brands. I keep the boxes of Carnegie's China dinosaurs and have them labeled, sorted by brands and sorted alphabetically.

I have a lot of figures from the Humbold Museum and Collecta as many as Deluxe series figures made the Collecta brand and the same can be said of other brands, Safari, Bullyland, Papo, Vitae, PNSO but I usually remove the remains of packaging except sometimes the packaging that protects the dinosaurs from deformations of the feet, for example the Nanmu carnotaurus, the Vitae giganotosaurus, the plastics in which the pentaceratops and gorgosaurus are held, the Collecta rajasaurus for giving several examples. In that I am very conservative.

Pachyrhinosaurus

I remove tags from almost everything, and have two boxes from older Safari figures filled with them.

I always remove tags. Some smaller figures have some serious issues standing with them still attached and it makes for a better display. I keep tags, cards and other sources of info in small boxes.

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I keep most of my tags on for display if I have them, though a lot of my figures are old it bought second hand and don't have tags, or the tags are unattached. I do usually take off that outer child warning tag that covers up the main tag though.

I untag my figures, but keep the tags in a box in the attic. I hate to throw stuff away.

Silvanusaurus

Rip them off immediately. Straight in the bin. Sometimes burn them. Sometimes destroy the very atoms from which they are composed. No looking back.  >:D

I tend to display them with them but recently I've just safely removed the tags and saved them in a little treasure box.

I store the tags  in a basket. I throw the annoying little Schleich tags away.

I keep a set of files with information sheets on all my acquisitions.  (Though sometimes I fall behind.)  I keep tags on the model until I make a sheet (and entry for it on my Excel sheet).  Then I know I still need to do a sheet etc.  Once the documentation is done, the tag is removed and slipped into the folder with the sheet.  Cards: sometimes in with the sheet, sometimes displayed with the model.

You mean the Schleich Fähnchen as they are called? Yep, those are annoying. I also get rid of these.
When I got the Dimetrodon ( as a gift ), it had three or four different tags attached. Only kept the one important one.

I have a small box where I keep tags but I always remove them. I really should organize them. I'm confident the box contains tags to figures I no longer own.

Yes, exactly.
