TS Tag – A Secure Travel Tag for Luggage

A TS Tag is a secure travel tag designed to help reunite travellers with lost luggage without exposing personal contact details. Unlike a standard luggage tag, a Travel Sentry TS Tag displays a unique code that allows finders to report lost items online. Once reported, the owner is notified securely, making TS Tags a smarter, safer luggage tag solution for travelling.

Why Use a TS Tag Instead of a Standard Luggage Tag

A TS Tag offers a smarter, more secure alternative to a traditional luggage tag. While standard travel tags often display personal information openly, a Travel Sentry TS Tag uses a unique code linked to a secure online system, helping protect your privacy while improving the chances of recovering lost items.

Key advantages of using a TS Tag travel tag include:

Protects your personal information

Unlike handwritten luggage tags, a TS Tag does not display your name, address, or contact details on your bag.

Secure lost & found reporting

If your luggage is found, the unique code on your TS Tag can be entered online, allowing you to be notified without direct contact.

Easier for finders to use

Anyone who finds your bag can report it quickly online, with no app or special knowledge required.

Global travel support

TS Tags work worldwide through the Travel Sentry lost & found system, making them suitable for international travel.

Designed specifically for travel

Durable and easy to attach, TS Tags are built for frequent use on luggage, backpacks, and other travel items.

Industry future

Tickets and boarding passes are now digital, why not bag tags?

Unsustainable 2 million kilometers of single-use baggage tags are used each year

Non-recyclable tags could wrap around the equator more than 50 times and cost the airline industry $500 million every year. Bad for business and bad for the environment.

Single-use tags make for a poor consumer experience. This is an extra step in the check-in process, they are awkward to put on and create queues.

Permanent Bag Tags will save the airline industry hundreds of millions of dollars, improve the passenger experience, save the planet and protect our health.

Baggage Check-in

Passengers can check-in baggage at home making getting through the airport a breeze.

Efficiencies

Airline agents can give better service and tagging kiosks can disappear from airport lobbies.

Environment

Say goodbye to non-recyclable single-use paper bag tags.

Health

Reduce our exposure to carcinogenic bisphenol (BPA, BPS) that are on thermal printed paper baggage tags.

Greater efficiency benefits all of us

TS Tag is a PBT – Permanent Baggage Tag. These will be built into new luggage at the factory. PBT equipped luggage and add on hangtags for existing luggage will be available wherever travel goods are sold.

The check-in process is simplified so that at the airport you can go to an expedited Self Baggage Drop. With PBTs your luggage can be more easily tracked, given priority handling when needed and also can support “Baggage Freedom” with door to door delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions on TS Tag

Are luggage tags a good idea?

Yes, luggage tags are an effective way to help identify and return lost bags. A secure luggage tag, such as a TS Tag, improves recovery while reducing the risk of exposing personal information during travel.

For added security, TS Tags connect to the Travel Sentry lost & found system, helping reunite travellers with their belongings if luggage is misplaced.

What information goes on a travel tag?

Traditional travel tags often include a name, phone number, or address. With a TS Tag, personal details are not displayed. Instead, the tag shows a unique code that can be used to report a found item securely online. This code links to the Travel Sentry ID system, allowing owners to be contacted without showing personal information on the luggage itself.

Where is the best place to put a luggage tag on a suitcase?

A luggage tag should be securely attached to a handle or designated tag loop on the outside of the suitcase. For more security, travellers may also place a secondary tag inside the bag in case the external tag is removed.
