How to Personalise a Luggage Tag: What to Write and What to Keep Private
A luggage tag helps you spot your bag at the belt and helps airline staff reach you if it goes missing. A personalised tag does both better than a plain one. Here is what to put on it.
What to write
- Your name. It makes the bag easy to claim as yours.
- A phone number or email. Use one you can answer while travelling.
- A short design or colour. A bright tag stands out among black bags.
What to keep off the tag
Anyone can read a tag in a queue. Avoid your full home address, since it tells strangers where your house is, empty, while you are away. A phone number or email is enough for someone to reach you.
Choose a tag you can recognise
Pick a colour or picture you will notice from a distance. A name in clear lettering with a small picture works well, and children can find their own bag when it has their name on it.
