Luggage Tags 101: What Information Should You Include?

Why a Good Luggage Tag is Essential for Every Traveler

A luggage tag is much more than a small accessory—it’s a vital part of your travel gear. Not only does it help you easily identify your bag, but it also allows potential finders to quickly reach out to you if your belongings go missing.

But what should you actually put on a luggage tag? Striking the right balance between useful information and privacy is crucial.

What Not to Put on a Luggage Tag

We strongly advise against including your full address on your luggage tag. While this was common in the past, it’s now considered risky. Criminal organizations active in places like airports can misuse your address information. Knowing where you live and seeing that you’re traveling can make your home a potential target.

What You Should Include

• Your Name – Typically, just your first name is sufficient.
• Email Address and Phone Number – These details make it easy for someone who finds your luggage to get in touch with you.

This is usually more than enough information. Including an address is unnecessary and adds unnecessary risks.

The Benefits of a QR-Code Luggage Tag

Want to go a step further in protecting your information? Consider a luggage tag with a QR code. This feature ensures that your contact information is secure and only accessible to those who genuinely wish to reach you. Additionally, a QR code offers flexibility: you can update your contact information without needing to buy a new tag.

At SEREGO, we’ve developed the Travel Label, which can be fully customized to your preferences. This tag features a discreet QR contact card, protected behind a magnetic flap, keeping your information hidden from prying eyes and accessible only when needed. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or an occasional explorer, the SEREGO Travel Label offers the perfect combination of functionality, privacy, and style.
