The Best Luggage Tags

By Geoffrey Morrison

No matter what kind of bag you carry on your travels, a luggage tag will help you identify it quickly and get it back should it go astray.

A good luggage tag will be strong enough to survive airline baggage tossers and distinctive enough to stand out in a sea of black suitcases. We chose several that combine toughness and visual flair and that suit a wide range of budgets and styles.

All the luggage tags we selected should stay put through multiple adventures and be recognizable at a glance. But we also have options for a range of personal styles and travel needs.

We have picks that will either shield your contact information from view or display it openly, that are brightly colored or muted, and that hold a business card or let you write in your information. We also looked at what electronic smart luggage tags can and can’t do —and why most people are better off skipping them.

The research

A luggage tag for almost any trip: ovener silicone luggage tag, also consider: famavala 2x luggage tags, the best metal tag: cpacc aluminum luggage tags, best to stand out in a crowd: art of travel neoprene designer luggage tags, should you get a smart luggage tag, how we picked and tested, the competition.

Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag

Strong and easy to see.

Rugged silicone and a metal cable mean this tag (which comes two to a pack) may well outlive your luggage. The brightly colored case displays its owner’s name but keeps other personal information out of sight.

Buying Options

Get this if: You travel a lot and want a hard-wearing tag with easy-to-spot vivid colors that also keeps contact information—except for your name—under wraps.

Why it's great: The Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag has everything we’re looking for in a basic luggage tag. It is simple and inexpensive, and thanks to its tough materials and strong construction it will likely last as long (or maybe even longer) than your luggage. The silicone body seems nearly indestructible and is available in six bright colors as well as black and gray (you get two tags per pack). While other tags also feature metal cables, this tag has a metal grommet to keep the cable from eventually wearing through the silicone case.

A narrow window in the silicone lets only your name be visible—your address and contact information isn’t flashed to your fellow passengers.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: To fully access the info card, you have to unscrew and remove the metal strap. This lets the card slide out of the case. Most luggage tags we tested secure their info card in this way. It’s not a difficult or time-consuming process, but it is an extra step compared with tags that display all of your information openly. Still, for someone who wants to keep their contact information out of view, the extra step is worth it. On one of our samples, the metal grommet was loose, but on our second set they were fine.

Colors: orange, black, blue, green, red, yellow, purple, gray

Famavala 2x Luggage Tags

Stylish and reasonably rugged.

The plastic “leather” body of these tags is almost as strong as silicone and keeps your personal information out of view. If you prefer distinctive patterns over neon-bright colors, these are a good choice.

Get this if: You want tags that are tough like the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag and also keep your contact information shielded from casual passers-by, but you find the Ovener’s colors just too bright.

Why it's great: The Famavala 2x Luggage Tags are almost as tough as the Ovener, but their synthetic-leather bodies come in a range of decorative patterns instead of solid colors. The four sets of designs incorporate elements of old maps, space scenes, and psychedelic florals. As with the Ovener, each tag has a metal cable that is unlikely to break or wear out. But while the Ovener’s cable passes through a metal grommet, this tag’s cable passes through its body directly and could wear through it over time.

All your info is behind a small magnetically secured flap, hidden from casual view. Unlike the Ovener, the Famavala hides your name as well as your other personal information. You can view that information without taking apart the tag, however. If you’re looking for something distinctive and that will last, but isn’t so Day-Glo as the Ovener, this is a great option.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Though more ornate than the Ovener, these tags are not quite as noticeable from a distance. The metal cable could conceivably, if yanked hard enough, rip right through the narrowest part of the plastic body.

Styles: about half a dozen multi-colored designs

CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags

All-metal toughness.

These metal luggage tags are as tough as tags made of silicone and hide everything but your name. They are more likely to scratch either paint or people, though.

Get this if: You’re metal, or you want your luggage tag to be. Like the Ovener, these tags hide your personal information (except for your name) from view and are tough enough to stand up to years of wear and tear.

Why it's great: Generally speaking, we’re not big fans of metal luggage tags. Their hard edges can catch on fabric and could scratch paint or people. (These aren’t necessarily likely scenarios, just more likely than with our picks made of silicone or plastic.) If you do opt for metal tags, we suggest going with CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags . Each has an aluminum alloy body and a stainless steel cable that feels very secure. They offer a nearly identical feel and design as metal tags that cost several times more.

This tag comes in sets of either two or five tags (all the same color) and a set of seven tags (each a different color). It’s offered in a variety of hues, including bright options for visibility on the luggage carousel as well as ones that would blend into their surroundings.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Like the Ovener tag, this tag forces you to unscrew the strap’s clasp and take apart the tag to read the card inside. This isn’t some huge, laborious task, but it does take a few steps.

Colors: red, black, blue, gold, green, pink, silver

Art of Travel Neoprene Designer Luggage Tags

A whimsical tag.

This simple, stretchy tag comes in nine designs by several artists and can add some beauty and playfulness to your luggage ID.

Get this if: You find other tags boring and want something artsy to decorate your luggage. Also, if you prefer a tag that shows your information at a glance, instead of hiding it behind a cover.

Why it's great: The Art of Travel Designer Luggage Tags are probably the most lively looking luggage tags we tested. Nine designs are available from six artists in a variety of styles. You wrap the single-piece neoprene tag around the suitcase handle (or elsewhere) and tuck the label end through the loop end, pulling it taut. The neoprene is unlikely to tear, and the edges are well-stitched. It might not hold up for as long as our silicone or metal picks, but it should still last for several years of travel.

The information portion is fairly simple--it’s just a small, clear-plastic card in a clear-plastic pocket that’s always visible. Because the card, too, is clear, you can still see the design through the card. Also, the card seems to stick slightly to its holder, which makes it stay more securely.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Unlike our other picks, this one doesn’t hide your personal information. But as the supplied info card is clear plastic, the words can be hard to distinguish from the background pattern at a distance, even though your info isn’t hidden. There’s also no closure to the card pocket, although we didn’t have issues with the card falling out. The loop-through design feels fairly secure, though not as secure as a screw-on metal cable or a buckled strap.

Styles: about nine different designs from about half a dozen artists (designs and artists can change periodically)

We think a luggage tag containing a card with information printed on it is the best option for most travelers. There are, however, also a variety of smart luggage tags—that is, electronic devices meant to help you locate your luggage when it’s lost. After surveying the different types of smart tags out there, though, we didn’t find any that work well enough for us to recommend them for regular use on your luggage.

A common type of smart tag uses Bluetooth tracking to locate your luggage. In our research, we found the best Bluetooth trackers are the Apple AirTag (for iOS users) and the Tile system (for Android users). We also liked the Tile Slim and the Tile Sticker. These small, battery-powered devices pair with your phone. When the tracker gets far enough from your phone to break the connection, the Find My or Tile app notes where you were when it lost contact—the idea being that this is the “last seen” location. If you go back to where the phone last “saw” the tracker, hopefully you’ll be able to actually retrieve the tracker (and whatever it’s attached to).

The advantage of the AirTag over the Tile—as well as over any smart luggage tag—comes in what happens next. You can track it via Apple’s Find My app, which uses the Bluetooth in every iPhone, iPad, and Mac that’s on the network to passively and anonymously find lost iPhones, Macs, and, yes, AirTags. In practical terms, this means if you leave your AirTag-equipped suitcase on an airport shuttle, for example, as long as someone else on the shuttle has an Apple device, the suitcase’s location will be reported to you (and the person with the iPhone or other Apple device who identified it will never know). Although Tile’s trackers work the same way, they do so on a far smaller scale—given that about a billion Apple devices in the world are opted into the Find My network, it’s much more likely that the shuttle rider one seat back has an iPhone than a Tile. And the odds against a smart luggage tag’s tracker having a user network anywhere near as large as Apple’s are, well, astronomical.

The other smart tag options

In addition to Bluetooth trackers, there are a few other types of smart tags out there, none of which we recommend.

There are smart tags with QR codes or unique website addresses that claim to be smartphone-friendly. We felt these were the exact opposite, requiring the person who finds your luggage to be smartphone or Web literate, which, although likely, is not guaranteed. Also, it adds an extra, and in our opinion unnecessary, step between the person who finds your luggage and your info. If you don’t want to put your home address where everyone can see it, don’t: A phone number or email address should suffice.

There are also a handful of RFID luggage tags on the market, but like the QR code and other smart luggage tags it requires the finder of the lost luggage to have technical knowledge and, in the case of RFID, a special reader. Some airlines use RFID to track luggage, but unless you only fly with that airline and you’re positive the tag you’re getting works with their equipment, it seems an unnecessary cost for something that will rarely help.

And now for the creepy bit. There are tracking devices that you can use to find your luggage anywhere. These devices typically cost over a hundred dollars and require a monthly fee, often $25 to $50. This is because instead of connecting to your phone via Bluetooth, they connect with cell towers directly, which costs money. They’re essentially a smartphone, without the phone. Or the smarts.

In addition to being expensive, they also have the potential to be extraordinarily creepy. Each company selling these devices mentions that it can be used to track other things. Like your car, or your purse … or someone else’s car, or someone else’s purse. The ease to which these could be misused to track someone’s movement gives us significant unease about recommending any product of this type.

Given that there are countless luggage tags on the market, we stuck with the best-reviewed and most popular options from Amazon and well-known travel companies. There are plenty of choices to fit specific styles, but we were looking for a few baseline features important in any luggage tag. For instance, we felt that a sturdy tag was a must, given that it would have to survive being grabbed by not just you but also baggage handlers, cabbies and ride-hail drivers, and hotel employees. The fail point for nearly every tag is the strap or cable that connects it with the luggage, so we looked for a strap that both was firmly attached and could withstand regular use without breaking.

We picked options for tags to stand out or blend in—whether you like one or the other will depend on your personal style preferences. We were split on how important it is to hide your extended contact information, such as anything other than your name. Most of our picks ended up hiding this information from casual view, but we also have an option for people who want their info freely visible.

We sorted through more than 40 tags to figure out the best mix of visually interesting, sturdy, and otherwise worthy-seeming tags. Once the 14 most promising candidates were in hand, I tugged and smashed all our finalists, looking for potential fail points. Generally speaking, as mentioned above, where the strap meets the body is the most likely fail point. In some cases, it’s the strap itself. All our picks have straps that are as solid and secure as their particular material and type will allow. Which is to say, all leather straps will wear, and all plastic straps will likely become more brittle with age. Metal cables are the strongest, but they too might snap or even wear through the body of the tag. It’s something to keep an eye on if you have these tags for several years. If you want something indestructible, the tags with metal straps should wear the best. (Or you can get your own to add to any tag here.)

I also set up and tested the old Tile Pro and Slim to see if they’d work with luggage tags. Since Bluetooth range will vary significantly with how much material or walls are between you and the Tile, your specific mobile device, and so on, we didn’t try to verify Tile’s claims on range, other than that in the real world it will be much less than the ranges Tile claims.

Arlo Skye offered a leather tag with a comparable price to our former leather pick from Tumi, but it was available in a more sedate black, gray, and beige. As of fall 2023, the black and beige are back in stock, though the gray is still sold out.

The Talonport Bag Tag seemed as durable as the CPACC Aluminum tag and came with both a leather strap and a metal one. It also has a lifetime replacement guarantee. However, it was a lot more expensive than the CPACC.

The Tufftaag has sharper metal edges than the other metal options we considered, which didn’t seem ideal. This was a former pick of ours, and in our long-term testing we found that it is as rugged as it seems. It also has space for multiple address cards, which one tester found convenient. For most people, though, the soft silicone of the Ovener is the better option, and if you still want metal, the CPACC is just as good but less expensive.

We used to recommend tags from Tumi and Incase, but both have been discontinued.

Best Luggage Tag Options for Travel

Table of contents.

Air travel can, at times, be unpredictable, and with all the news of lost luggage and delayed or canceled flights, readers are taking matters into their own hands with travel luggage tags and trackers. 

Why Travel with a Luggage Tag?

While cute luggage tags certainly spice up your suitcase’s look, they’re not always the most effective option if your bag were to get lost or stolen. Readers highly suggest putting a smart tag inside your suitcase so that you’ll always be able to track it with your phone and know exactly where it is. 

You could also opt for a durable travel luggage tag to secure onto the outside of your suitcase, where you can include information for others to contact you with. Practical luggage tags will be made of durable materials like aluminum and provide a reliable way to write down your contact information. Some options even have QR codes for people to scan if they find your lost suitcase!    

Many readers do both – use a smart tracker on the inside and a durable luggage bag tag on the outside. 

How Does a Luggage Tracker Work?

Luggage trackers, or smart luggage tags , are a hot topic in the TFG community, and many readers can’t recommend them enough! 

A luggage tracker is a small device that you link to your smartphone and then place inside your luggage (or on any item you want to keep track of). Then, through either GPS, Bluetooth, or Wifi, depending on the device, you can watch your suitcase be loaded onto the airplane, head to baggage claim, check in on it at your hotel, or be notified if it leaves your vicinity for whatever reason – all in real-time! 

Because they’ve been such a lifesaver for readers who have lost their luggage and found it due to these devices, many now put them in their purses and other belongings, too, especially when traveling to places with a higher risk of theft or if it’s something they commonly misplace! 

You’ll definitely want to be adding one of these reader favorites to your next packing list!

Apple AirTags

This Apple luggage tracker is raved about by TFG readers. You simply connect it to the Find My app, and it’ll track any belonging with incredible precision – even if you’re on a different continent! As long as someone else’s iPhone is close to your AirTag, encrypted Bluetooth technology will help you track your belonging in the app. 

You can also have the AirTag play a loud sound to find your bag in a sea of others or put it in lost mode to get notified of its location whenever it’s detected in the Find My network. As a bonus, it’s both water and dust-resistant, and the battery lasts over a year, so it’s perfect for long trips or just day-to-day use! Note that these are only compatible with Apple devices. 

One reader raves, “I have a total of eight now. I have them on anything of value while traveling. Even bought a case with a slot for the AirTag for my AirPods. They are my number one must-have travel item now. Sometimes the 4-pack goes on sale!” Another says, “Buy. The. AirTags! A $27 purchase prevented me from losing over $600 in belongings.” 

Keep them handy in a leather luggage tag keychain !

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 

For Samsung users, the Galaxy SmartTag is the one for you. Very similar to the Apple version, this luggage tracker tag will help you locate your items through the SmartThings app. 

It’ll lead you right to your suitcase as long as it’s within 390 feet, or if it’s close by, you can use the ring button to follow the sound. If your bag is out of range, you can tap into the Galaxy Find network to track it! The battery lasts up to a year, depending on the frequency of use, and users say it’s easy to change. 

A reader shares, “Last month, I successfully used four Samsung Galaxy SmartTags in two different airports in Europe to track my bags. I was able to see how one bag got separated from the others in Barcelona and watch it make its way to the plane after the others arrived. It works the same way as AirTags, just with Samsung devices to ping off of.”

We’ve put together a helpful guide to get you started on choosing the right travel luggage for your next trip!

TilePro Travel Tags for Luggage (iOS and Android compatible)

A reader says, “Have used this for years. Pairs with Bluetooth on your phone. I have three Tiles, and each has a different ring with no interference. Great product for those, like me, who misplace keys constantly!”

ATUVOS Airport Luggage Tag

The Atuvos Bluetooth tracker for luggage is an excellent budget option with great reviews. Stash it in the inside of your suitcase or clip it to any important item to track it when it’s up to 400 ft away, or use the Find My app (on an iPhone) to view its most recent locations. 

This Atuvos tracker is only compatible with Apple devices, and just like the AirTags, it can use any other Apple device in the vicinity of this tracker to let you know where your item is! It’s compact, durable, water-resistant, and has a loud and clear ring so you can find it easily when it’s nearby. The battery will easily last you a year, and it’ll remind you when it needs replacing. 

A user says, “This thing is awesome! This gives timely ‘left behind’ alerts and has VERY reliable community find, given it has access to Apple’s Find My network. Will be buying more of these for sure.”

Pebblebee Tracking Device for Luggage

The Pebblebee Bluetooth luggage tag is another great pick for both iOS and Android users. It has an impressive Bluetooth range of 500 ft, but with the Pebblebee app or Find My network, your lost item can be tracked from any distance! It’s super compact, water-resistant, emits a loud buzzer to guide you to your items, and lasts up to six months before having to charge it again. 

Users say it’s precise and really easy to use. A traveler shares, “Used it for my vacation luggage and felt confident! The app is super cool too.” 

Tracki GPS Luggage Tracker

Tracki’s mini GPS tracker for luggage is incredibly accurate and will show you every single location it’s been to and exactly where it is in real-time, no matter the distance. An international SIM card is included, so even if it’s in another country, you’ll know exactly where your Tracki is. The one caveat is that there’s a $10-$20 monthly fee, but users say it’s worth it for the peace of mind — plus, you can always deactivate it whenever you’re not traveling. 

The battery will last anywhere from five days to 75 days, depending on whether you’re tracking consistently or only occasionally. You can also choose to be notified when the tracker starts to move, there’s low battery, an SOS button is pressed, or it enters or leaves a Geo-fence that you’ve set! 

A traveler reports, “I used this luggage GPS tracker on my trip to Iceland and the device worked well. I was able to track it at the connecting airport in the US and final destination both ways without issues. Had no issues leaving this on for 24 hours plus. Overall would recommend this device to track checked luggage.”

Chipolo One & One Spot Airport Luggage Tags

The Chipolo ONE and Chipolo ONE Spot trackers will show you your suitcase’s location on a map when it’s out of Bluetooth range, which is 200 ft, and can ring to help you spot it when it is in range! Many users compare them to the Apple Airtags, saying they’re a bit less expensive, a little louder, and have a keyring hole built in. 

Chipolo ONE uses the Chipolo app, which is compatible with both Apple and Android devices, while the Chipolo ONE Spot uses the Find My app, which is only compatible with Apple devices.  Both of them are sturdy, water resistant, and have a long battery life that lasts up to a year. Another really great feature is that if you ever misplace your phone, you can double press the Chipolo to ring it! 

A user shares, “This makes a loud beeping noise to locate and works very well with the Find Me app on iOS. I tested this out with my luggage to track down where it was after landing and was easily able to locate it.”

Best Luggage ID Tags

Dynotag Sentry Series Solid Metal Luggage ID Tag

Dynotag’s unique luggage tags include this SuperTag ID , which features a custom QR code that’ll bring up your contact information when someone scans it. The luggage tag strap is made of steel, and the tag is made of aluminum, so you can rest assured that it’s not going anywhere!

A traveler says, “I really like this concept of smart ID tags where I could update the address at my destination from my phone. If my bags miss the connections, I have one less thing to worry about while rushing from one gate to another!”

Dynotag Smart Recovery Luggage ID Tags

This Smart Recovery Tag is another cool luggage tag option to keep your suitcase secure, as well as a host of others things you might misplace.

There’s also a web address for people who don’t have a smartphone. Readers love luggage tags like these because they don’t require batteries, Bluetooth, or any apps, so they’re easy for anyone to use and incredibly dependable! 

One user shares more, “I like the idea that only someone who really has a ‘need to know (that is, who has found and wants to return something I’ve lost!) can see my contact data. We’ll be using them on luggage as well as on our keys. I really like that these tiny tags will stay neat, new-looking, and unobtrusive. And I love the idea that I can easily alter my info on their website anytime I like. Well worth the modest price!”

I started putting an Air Tag in my luggage for the first time this year. I have been carry on only for decades now. However, you never know if suddenly the overhead bins are full and they insist on checking your bag! Now they cannot say they don’t know where your bag is when you deplane. Air Tag to the rescue! I also recently changed my luggage tag to one that has a metal cord. No flimsy strap that accidentally gets pulled off! Thanks for all the ways we can better keep track of our luggage!

Love my airtags! I have 5 now (gave the other 3 to my daughter). I store the battery in its case (on Amazon) so I have fresh batteries when I’m ready to travel.

Hi, great overview! I was wondering whether to place my Apple AirTag in my checked-in luggage, however what always stopped me was the fear that it has a battery, and all batteries are prohibited in the checked-in luggage, due to fire safety. Are the trackers than exempt from this rule? Thank you!

Hi Eva, that’s a great question. Lots of our readers have traveled with their apple AirTags in their checked luggage and no one has reported back that they’ve had any issues.

But to get the best advice we would also recommend checking directly with your airline.

Happy travels!

If it’s a lithium ion battery then no, you can’t leave it in your checked luggage–lithium ions are the batteries that can start a fire. If it’s not, you’re OK. I have to remove the lithium battery from the charger on my Away suitcase. But definitely check with your airline!

You know that feeling when you’re finally in the baggage claim area of your destination airport and a million identical suitcases pass you by — leaving you with no idea if any of them are yours?

Playing luggage bingo at the end of a long journey is never fun, and without an easily identifiable luggage tag, you could be playing it for some time to come.

Always tag your luggage, folks! Without a tag, your personal items could end up in someone else’s hands — or worse still, in another country. Name them to claim them!

Here’s how to make sure your luggage ends up in the right hands: yours.

Your luggage tags should be several things: easy to read, easy to recognize, and well-attached to your baggage. After all, your tag is of no use to you if it comes off before it’s even reached the hold.

Easy To See

If your tag isn’t visible enough to be seen as it spins along the carousel, is it even worth having? Whether it’s brightly colored or just oversized, visibility is vital when it comes to identifying your luggage.

Easy To Read

The other great reason for strapping some sort of ID on your suitcase is that it offers a great way to name your luggage as your own. Your tags should clearly display your name, contact number or email, or other personal details.

Robust and Hard-wearing 

Let’s be honest: airport handlers don’t treat our bags with as much love and care as we’d like. Whether it’s a designer suitcase or a much-loved old rucksack, they all get thrown onto the plane and off again without a second thought for their well-being.

This presents a risk for our luggage tags, too. All that rough and tumble can lead to the demise of delicate tags, and thin or paper-based tags can easily become completely separated from your luggage.

Hot Tip: Go for tags made of more durable materials like plastic, metal, or leather — and forget about those paper ones the airline gives you.

Well-secured

The way you attach your tag is also important. Keeping your tag firmly fixed to your luggage is kind of the whole point, so forgo flimsy materials and stick to heavyweight attachment pieces like leather or even steel — and find options that are flexible but firm.

Completely Unique

Whether you want a 5-inch Darth Vader overseeing your belongings or something more low-key, individuality is important. Find tags that look a bit different, and don’t just choose the one the suitcase manufacturer recommends — or you’ll soon find yourself trying to locate your case in a sea of identical ones, all with matching tags on them.

Better Than Anyone Else’s

Yes, we’re going there! Sometimes you need to step up your game to remain unique. By this we mean, it’s absolutely OK to show just how cool you are by securing a super-duper, tech-heavy luggage tag to your case next time you travel 🙂

Smart luggage tags are an actual thing — and they can help you locate your luggage by using Bluetooth (or other mystical tracking devices) that let you keep tabs on your tags and luggage at all times.

Not all luggage tags are created equal — which in this case is good because you want yours to be special, unique, and oh-so-easy to spot from a mile away.

When it comes to practicality and durability, some are miles ahead of others. Here are some of the very best luggage tags your money can buy:

1. Funky Design Tag for the Colorful Traveler

• Shacke Initial Luggage Tag

Big, bold, bright, and rubbery, these tags can be personalized to feature your own initial . Waiting to see your special letter whiz past you on the luggage carousel adds a touch of child-like excitement to your baggage collection experience.

Not only are these available in this beautiful green color, but they also have an awesome rubberiness about them, making them nice to fiddle with while you wait to check your baggage in.

Shacke offers these luggage tags in a few other colors, too. And just to be certain your personalized tag doesn’t become separated from your bag, these little beauties are attached using a bendable metal chain that’s guaranteed to stay put.

On the reverse side, there is the usual space for inputting your name, address, phone number, etc. — so should your luggage go somewhere without you, it can easily be reunited.

What We Like

• Bright and easy to spot on the carousel

What We Don’t Like

• The ID card can fall out easily if bent

2. Luggage Tags for the Hardcore Traveler

• TUFFTAAG Travel ID Bag Tag

A fierce name for an awesome product, these luggage tags are guaranteed to withstand the harsh conditions of worldwide travel. Whether you’re circumnavigating the globe — or simply looking for a decent tag that will stop your vacation clothing from heading for a different resort — these guys have you covered.

Made from reinforced aluminum and complete with a sturdy steel cable that attaches to your luggage, there isn’t much that can tear these tags away from your suitcase once fastened.

Designed with the more upwardly mobile traveler in mind, TUFFTAAGs are just the right size to hold a business card. If you’re between high-powered positions right now, you can simply print your name and contact details using the PDF included.

They come in a huge array of colors, so personalizing is easy. These tags also come with rather shouty “not your bag” stickers — which are probably really useful as long as nobody else on your flight has them, too.

• Fits a standard-size business card
• The metal can bend with reasonable force

3. Luggage Tags for the Budget Luxury Traveler

• Travelambo Synthetic Leather Luggage Bag Tag

Channel your inner executive with these synthetic luggage tags from Travelambo. If you want a bag tag that matches your faux leather organizer, these are the ones for you. They’re available in a whopping 40 different colors , so you shouldn’t have trouble finding one that suits your tastes!

Made from eco-friendly polyurethane leather, these tags have a good-length strap for easy attachment and an impressively strong stainless steel buckle that won’t come off without a fight.

If you prefer not to share your name and address with your fellow travelers, this tag comes complete with a discreet privacy flap — keeping your personal details tucked away as your suitcase makes its journey around the airport.

Of course, the privacy flap will slow you down on the carousel, since you’ll have to peek to check that it is your suitcase. But the upscale look of these tags is so impressive, you may want to upgrade to business class before you board!

• Made from vegan leather
• Colors shown online can differ to the color of the tag

4. For the Colorful and Privacy Conscious  Traveler

Shacke luggage tags with full back privacy cover.

Brightly colored and easy to spot, these rubberized tags are flexible, fun, and great for families. If you and the kids are heading off on vacation, try picking a color for each person, or color-coding your family in a more uniform fashion.

• Personal information is concealed unless deliberately accessed
• Tags are quite heavy

5. For the Tech-savvy Traveler

Tile mate essentials bluetooth tracker 4 pack.

Want to look supercool when you collect your luggage? Then let us present the Tile Mate Essentials Bluetooth tracker set. This is a set of tags that can be attached to your luggage, slipped inside your wallet, or even stuck to an item, such as your cell phone.

For locating luggage, simply attach the Tile to your bag and activate the app on your smartphone. Once the Tile is within 100 feet of your Bluetooth signal, it will locate your bag and announce it to you with a rather loud sound.

The Tile Tags come with a precut hole for attaching to your luggage — but these tags are so advanced, you can also just drop them inside your bag and the tracker will still be able to find them . You’ll look like a rockstar around the carousel as your phone beeps to announce the arrival of your luggage!

These aren’t just for travel either — you can use them around the home or office to locate your phone or other easy-to-misplace items, and Tile can even tell you where you last left something.

Despite being a great bit of tech, you would still need some form of alternative luggage tag so airport staff can identify your name and address if there’s a mistake with handling your luggage.

• Handy for locating your luggage when you can’t see it
• Requires app location services to be activated all the time

Hot Tip: You can also consider tossing an Apple AirTag into your luggage! We offer 10 ways to use an Apple AirTag in our detailed review of the design, setup, and features.

6. The Strong and Secure Luggage Tag

Talonport stainless steel luggage tags.

Literally as hard as nails, these stainless steel luggage tags promise to withstand years of baggage handler abuse. You can even make them your own — each set contains 2 metal tags and 4 colorful ID cards that can be changed to suit your mood, luggage, or your outfit.

The Talonport tag is as durable as it is impressive, and these tags come with a lifetime guarantee — meaning you only need to buy once for years of speedy baggage carousel experiences.

Attached to your case or bag using strong wire loops, your tag should always stay safely where you put it, and the overlapping design of the tag keeps your personal details safe from prying eyes.

Looking every bit as sleek as a high-speed train, these metal tags are a fashionable accessory that’s as practical as they come.

7. For the Well-connected Traveler

Dynotag web enabled smart aluminum convertible luggage id tag.

Another impressive example of modern-day technology fused with old-fashioned practicality, the Dynotag features a QR code that can be scanned to reveal your personal details .

Made from anodized aluminum, the Dynotag is waterproof and weatherproof, and the strong metal loop will ensure it stays firmly attached to your luggage. While this may not be the most easily identifiable tag on the carousel, it is without a doubt one of the most tech-savvy tags out there.

Having no personal details in sight helps protect you from identity theft. And an easily set up find function helps locate your suitcase using GPS-assisted tag view, which can access logs and maps — and even email you the location of your luggage as you travel.

For a luggage tag, this offers an impressive balance of security and functionality. The manufacturers claim their patented DynoIQ technology is some of the best on the market when it comes to locating your belongings, and we think it looks pretty awesome, too.

• Protects against identity theft
• The metal material can bend

8. Luggage Tags for the Smart Traveler

Dynotag Smart Luggage ID Tag

Dynotag offers a range of smart luggage tags that give you peace of mind should your luggage go missing.

The premise is simple: attach the tag and activate your ID code to input your personal information into their secure web portal. If your luggage goes astray and is located, you’ll receive an automatic email notification for when your tag is scanned and the finder has read your contact details.

These particular tag comes in 3 different colors and can be attached using the stainless steel loop (or thrown inside your bag for added security).

You don’t even have to be trotting the globe to enjoy the location-finding benefits of the Dynotag. You can attach them to your phone, your kid’s backpack, or anything else that’s inherently mobile — the service will still alert you when your items have been found.

• Finders are motivated to report your found bag with a reward
• Doesn’t have a built-in GPS tracker

9. Luggage Tags for the Executive Traveler

• Talenport Leather Luggage Tags

These leather tags aren’t chipped and won’t work with your Bluetooth, but they will look super smart when attached to your suitcase. Made from genuine leather, these add an upscale feel to your overnight bag, making you look like a frequent flyer with class.

The privacy flap comes as standard, so you can hide your personal details from fellow travelers and airport staff as you make your way on your next executive trip around the world.

Also, we think the Talonport logo looks like something you’d find on a premium car brand, and the red stripe gives an air of exclusivity that sets it apart from plain leather tags. It might be a bit showy, but it’s still a hard-wearing luggage tag that comes with a lifetime guarantee .

• Made from genuine leather
• Your personal information is easily accessible

10. Best Design for the Budget Traveler

This list will cover many types of luggage tags, from classic-looking leather options to modern models that can carry a tracking device. Before choosing the best luggage tag for you, it’s best to determine what pack you’re taking and what you want from your identification.

Do you want something vibrant that will stick out in the baggage line, something sleek that will blend in with your pack, something classic you can write on, or something that can accommodate modern technology? Once you’ve figured that out, it’s time to dive in!

Why We Like It: It folds to keep your personal details concealed.

What You Should Know: Subtle colorways can be hard to see.

When searching for the best luggage tags to meet the needs of your next trip, keeping your personal information safe probably came up. Sometimes, a simple folding label is all you need. The Away Luggage Tags fold in the center to ensure your address and phone number aren't displayed to the world. Plus, there are a few fun colorways to choose from.

It comes with a paper sheet to write your information inside, or you can print something on your printer at home. This luggage tag is crafted from leather, which looks and feels professional. The attachment strap isn't attached to the tag itself, which makes putting it on more straightforward, but it means there's a chance you could lose it in between trips.

Finding your luggage is a lot easier with suitcase tags like these, whether you're traveling for work or pleasure.

Why We Like It: Lots of colorway options.

What You Should Know: If you pick a vibrant color, it might not match your luggage.

If you’re looking for something as vibrant as your personality, look no further than the Rimowa Luggage Tag. At the time of writing, there are nine colorway options, many of which are fun and eye-catching. Choosing something this distinctive makes it easy to find your bag at the luggage claim; however, if you update your bag, you run the risk of clashing colors.

These luggage identifiers don’t come with a piece of paper to write your information onto and slot back inside, which is a bummer. However, the Nappa leather is sleek, they’re crafted in Italy, and you can customize what information you want on the identifier if you make it yourself.

If you want something to brighten your mood at the airport baggage claim, these might be the best luggage tags for you!

Why We Like It: Simple design at a budget price.

What You Should Know: Not unique looking, long-term durability concerns.

If you’re traveling with a group or have multiple pieces of luggage you want to tag, the best luggage tags for you are probably budget-friendly. The Mifflin tags come in various pack sizes and colors to meet your needs. The materials are hard plastic that scuffs up reasonably easily. However, coming in at under $10 for three, we aren’t too surprised.

These little cute luggage tags come with a piece of paper to write your information on, so all you need is a writing utensil. The attachment loops give us longevity concerns; however, we haven’t broken any so far.

If you’re looking for luggage tags on a budget, look no further.

Why We Like It: Fun colorways and designs.

What You Should Know: Not many minimalist options.

Even if you opt for a minimalist-looking rolling luggage set, there’s nothing wrong with spicing up your life with a vibrant design. The ban.do Getaway Leather Luggage Tag comes in a handful of fun patterns, some of which have fun sayings. They’re crafted from vegan leather, so no animal products were used to create them.

If you want minimalism over everything, these might not be the best luggage tags for you. However, for folks who like finding gear that makes them stand out in the crowd, ban.do has some cute luggage tags you might enjoy. Personal favorites in the office are Rainbow Stripe and Superbloom!

Theys come with a slip to write your information on, and it’s covered by a piece of material that secures with a button, so your digits aren’t out there in the world while you’re exploring it.

Why We Like It: The leather grain is sleek but professional.

What You Should Know: The leather look isn’t for everyone.

If you’re looking for the best luggage tags that look professional and come in a handful of colorways, check out the Longchamp LE FOULONNÉ Leather Luggage Tag. The matte leather exterior looks sleek and fun to play with while waiting to check your bag.

The tag secures using a pin buckle. The strap doesn’t feel super durable; however, we’ve had no issues with it breaking. There’s no paper to write your name on included, so you’ll have to make your own. This takes some time but ensures you can maximize the space and only put the information you want to on there.

For a fancier look, these are some of the best luggage tags for airline travel!

Why We Like It: Budget price and loads of colorway options.

What You Should Know: Long-term durability concerns.

Sometimes simplicity is all you need, especially when searching for the best luggage tag for you. The Travelambo Luggage Tags offer a basic design that’s easy to use and comes at a budget-friendly price.

At the time of writing, there are three dozen color options, ranging from black to sparkly pink. The packs come with two, so you can share one with your partner or save one for later if your first one breaks.

At less than $10, durability is bound to be an issue. However, we have no problems to report so far. They’re not well suited for more durable adventures but will work for most other trips.

If you’re looking for a set of custom luggage tags that will make you the envy of all the travelers waiting to check their bags in, look no further than the Boarding Pass Custom Leather Luggage Tags. There are a few colors, so you can find a model that fits your vibe.

Your luggage will stand out if it isn’t as fancy as the tag. However, we’ve found they go well with many travel backpacks we’ve reviewed here at Pack Hacker. Plus, you can customize them with your information, so you don’t have to worry about writing everything down.

If you change your address, you will have to get new tags. However, if you keep the same phone number, you can put that only on the leather. If you’re looking for something unique, these might be the best luggage tags for you.

Why We Like It: You can track your luggage anywhere.

What You Should Know: Easy for thieves to see.

In the modern technological age, you don’t necessarily need to write anything down to make your luggage easy to find. With the rise of tracking devices, you can attach one to your luggage to ensure you know where it is from boarding to pickup. This AirTag luggage tag is easy to use and durable for your next adventure.

It’s crafted from leather, with a sleek look that feels just as comfortable in first class as in the back of a pickup truck. The AirTag isn’t included, so you’ll have to purchase that too.

If you don’t want to place it on the pack’s exterior, you can put it inside your bag instead. Plus, once you arrive, you can attach your AirTag to other gear you don’t want to lose, like your daypack or sling .

Why We Like It: Comes with everything you need to help you find your luggage.

What You Should Know: A bit pricey for what you get.

If you’re looking for more than just a set of luggage tags, Tumi has you covered. Their Accent Kit has two monogram patches, a leather handle wrap, a luggage tag, and eight leather zipper pulls. They all match—so your gear will go together nicely.

If you only want the luggage tag, getting the set isn’t the most economical option. However, for those looking to take their pack customization level at the airport game to the next level, look no further. It’s a little pricey for something simple, but sometimes the small things are worth paying for.

The set is designed to work with Tumi luggage but will work with most travel backpacks and daypacks.

Why We Like It: It can hold an AirTag and your personal information.

What You Should Know: Not a lot of variety when it comes to colorways.

If you’re set on having a classic-looking luggage tag but want the modern conveniences of an AirTag, the Waterfield AirTag Leather Luggage Tag was made for you. In addition to having your information on a placard, there’s a dedicated spot to stow your AirTag so that you know your luggage made it onto the plane, when it starts spinning around the baggage area, and where it went off to should it be stolen.

The tag is crafted from leather, which is durable, looks sleek, and is comfortable to hold. Your personal information is hidden behind a flap of leather that secures so nobody can look you up without a bit of effort. Plus, there are a few leather colors to choose from, so you can find the best luggage tags for your style. The variety isn’t anything to write home about, but we’re happy enough with Waterfield’s high-quality leather materials.

This model is relatively large; however, it doesn’t feel too bulky when on your pack. The added peace of mind of knowing where your luggage is at all times is worth the extra grams it adds onto your back!

Why We Like It: It’s a cat.

What You Should Know: Long-term durability might not hold up.

You might not be able to take your cats on your next trip, but you can keep them close by in spirit. The Kate Spade Cat I.d. Clip is technically designed to hold your identification card; however, it can be used as a luggage tag on the exterior or interior of your pack. The design is fun, and the odds are low that anyone else will have the same luggage tag at the baggage claim.

You’ll have to make your own information card, either by hand or with a printer, which you can design to feature pictures or drawings of your cat, so anyone who finds it knows why your bag sounds like it has dozens of exotic cat toys inside. We’re a little skeptical of the durability of the connector, but we haven’t had any issues in testing so far.

If you’re a cat lover, this might be one of the best luggage tags available for you.

Why We Like It: Budget-friendly and comes in bulk, so you have enough for the whole family.

If you’re bringing the whole family on your next trip and want to ensure you have luggage tags for everyone, the Sodsay Baggage ID Label Tags are worth looking at. There are ten in a package, so there’s enough for everyone. It’s a simple design: a thin piece of plastic that enables you to see the information written on the included card when you’re close.

When you’re further away, it’s harder to decipher what’s written, which is an excellent security feature. The tags feel durable enough; however, we’re uncertain how long the attachment loop will last. No issues to report yet, though!

There are a handful of colorways available. The brighter options are ideal for those who want to be able to see their luggage when it rolls around the baggage claim. The black option is sleek, which we dig aesthetically.

Whichever you go with, these luggage tags won’t break the bank and will ensure you can prepare the whole family!

Why We Like It: Comes with multiple tags and has multiple colorway options

What You Should Know: The design can be seen as childish

If you’ve poked around Amazon while looking for the best luggage tags for your next trip, you’ve probably come across the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag. They’re well-reviewed, come in a plethora of colorways, and are budget-friendly. Plus, the metal attachment is more durable than the leather or plastic options we’ve seen elsewhere.

There’s a small plane cutout on one side and a small slit for your name on the other. The silicone exterior material covers the rest of your information so that nobody can see your sensitive information. The exterior can pick up dust, but it’s straightforward to clean and take care of on the road.

The airplane design could be seen as childish, but we think it’s a fun way to get you in the mood for your next trip and ensures you know what it is if you find it out of context in your apartment. At the price, it’s hard to find a better simple option.

Why We Like It: Unique colorway and design options.

What You Should Know: The metal attachment ring can be hard to use.

If you want your luggage tags to be as out of this world as traveling feels, the Famavala Luggage Tags are up your alley. The colorways are vibrant, trippy, and fun to look at, which will brighten your trip to the airport and add personality to your pack. With six options to choose from at the time of writing, you can find one that works for you.

The materials feel cheaper than the premium leather models we’ve tested in the past; however, you can’t go wrong with the price. We haven’t had any durability issues, which is essential to note. The metal fastener is robust and ensures the tag won’t fall off your pack, but the screw can be hard to use if you have larger hands or struggle with small objects.

The tag comes with a piece of paper to write your information on, so you don’t have to make your own, which we dig. From Bluesky to Skystar, the Famavala Luggage Tags might be the best luggage tags for you.

Why We Like It: Durability is top-notch, and the price is spectacular.

What You Should Know: Corners are a little sharp.

Here at Pack Hacker HQ, we’ve been using CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags for over a year. For what, you might ask? Well, that’s top-secret intel. Pack Hacker Pro Members are invited to visit us here at HQ, so your chances of getting security clearance rise dramatically if you join!

Silliness aside, these tags are durable and easy to see, thanks to their vibrant colorway. The aluminum and steel construction can handle the most rugged adventures, whether you’re crossing the desert or climbing a mountain. Similar to other metal ring attachments, it can be hard to open and close them if you have larger hands. Luckily, once you attach it, the ring won’t come undone until you unscrew it again.

A budget price and durable construction make these one of the best luggage tags on the market!

So there you have it; some of the best luggage tags to take on your next trip. Whether you’re looking for something basic or a model that works with modern technology, hopefully, you’ve found your pick!

Luggage Tags: Everything You Should Know

Published May 08, 2024

Author Suze Dowling

Whether you are a seasoned traveler or are gearing up for your first adventure, you've probably realized by now that luggage tags are an unsung hero when it comes to travel accessories. These small but mighty tags are important for ensuring your luggage finds it's way back to you in case of an unexpected (and unfortunate) separation!

So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of luggage tags and explore everything you should know about them. We’ll discuss all you need to know about luggage tags , shedding light on their importance, the types available, what information to include, and some innovative options that might just change the way you tag your bags forever. So, buckle up and get ready to become a luggage tags aficionado!

Why Are Luggage Tags Important? 

You arrive at your dream destination after a long flight, only to discover that your luggage is nowhere to be found. It's a scenario that every traveler dreads, but fear not! This is where luggage tags swoop in to save the day. These accessories are your luggage's voice, shouting out its identity amidst a sea of look-alikes.

Luggage tags serve as the first point of contact to reconnect you with your lost belongings. By providing essential information about the owner, they act as a beacon for lost luggage, helping reunite you with your possessions. Without luggage tags, your suitcase could easily be lost in luggage limbo, never finding its way back home.

But the significance of luggage tags doesn't end there. Beyond the functional aspect, they also offer peace of mind. Knowing that your contact details are securely fastened to your luggage can alleviate some of the stress that often accompanies travel. So, next time you're packing for a trip, remember to give your luggage tags some love.

What Kind of Luggage Tags Are Available?

When it comes to luggage tags, one size definitely does not fit all. The market is full of options to suit every traveler's style and needs. From classic cardboard tags to strong metal ones, the variety is as vast as the destinations you aspire to visit. Consider the material, design, and durability when choosing the perfect tag to accompany your luggage on its journey.

While some travelers prefer the simplicity of traditional luggage tags, others opt for more high-tech options like electronic tags that offer features like tracking and digital display. Whichever type you choose, make sure it's sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of travel while still reflecting your personal style.

What Should (and Shouldn’t) You Put On a Luggage Tag?

Now that you've picked out the perfect luggage tag, it's time to tackle the question of what information should adorn it. The key here is to keep it simple yet informative . Include your name and contact details, including a phone number and email address. By providing your home and destination contact information, you increase the chances of a swift reunion with your lost luggage, no matter where it decides to gallivant off to.

While it's important to include specific information on your luggage tag to aid in its safe return, there are certain details that are best left off. Avoid including your full home address, social security number, or any other sensitive data that could potentially compromise your safety. The goal is to provide enough information for your luggage to find its way back to you while safeguarding your privacy.

By striking the right balance and including the necessary information on your luggage tag, you set yourself up for smooth sailing — even if your baggage takes an unexpected detour.

Steering clear of oversharing personal information can help protect your privacy and security. 

What Are Some Innovative Luggage Tag Options?

Innovation is no stranger to the world of luggage tags. Enter electronic luggage tags, the sleek, modern counterparts of traditional paper tags. These smart tags revolutionize the way we label our belongings, offering features like real-time tracking and digital display screens. By syncing them with your smartphone, you can ensure that your luggage is never truly lost, even if it goes on an unexpected adventure of its own.

Electronic luggage tags come with a range of benefits, including ease of use and customization options. With the ability to update your information digitally, you can swiftly adjust your contact details without needing to replace the tag itself. While traditionalists may stick to paper tags, the convenience and tech-savvy appeal of electronic tags are undeniably tempting for modern travelers looking to stay one step ahead in the luggage labeling game.

How To Make Your Own Luggage Tags

Why settle for a generic luggage tag when you can add a personal touch to your travel essentials? DIY luggage tags are a fantastic way to express your creativity and ensure your luggage stands out in a sea of black suitcases on the baggage carousel.

From handcrafted designs to repurposed materials, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating your unique luggage tags. Whether you opt for a pop of color, a splash of glitter, fun stickers , or a quirky shape, DIY tags can make your luggage easily identifiable and add a touch of personality to your travels.

By making your tag distinctively yours, you reduce the chances of someone else mistaking your luggage for theirs. So, grab your crafting supplies and get ready to elevate your luggage game with personalized DIY tags.

Is There a Right Way To Attach a Luggage Tag?

Now that you've got your hands on a stylish luggage tag — whether store-bought or DIY — it's time to ensure it serves its purpose effectively. Properly attaching and maintaining your luggage tag can make all the difference when it comes to reuniting with your belongings in case they go astray.

When attaching your luggage tag, opt for a secure method that will withstand the rough handling of baggage handlers. Consider using a sturdy strap or lock to affix the tag to your luggage securely. Additionally, it's essential to regularly update the contact information on your tag to ensure its accuracy. In the event of a change in phone number or email address, promptly update your tag to avoid any delays in the retrieval process.

Luggage Tags for Special Cases

Travelers come in all shapes and sizes, each with unique needs when it comes to luggage identification. For children and elderly travelers, customized luggage tags can offer an added layer of security and peace of mind. Tags that include bright colors, fun designs, or personalized information can help youngsters identify their luggage easily in the bustling airport environment.

For individuals with medical conditions or special requirements, including essential medical information on their luggage tags is essential . In case of emergencies, these details can provide vital information to first responders or medical personnel, ensuring swift and appropriate care.

Is There Luggage Tag Etiquette?

Lost luggage is a common traveler's nightmare, but proper luggage tag etiquette can help mitigate the stress and confusion that often accompany such situations. If you come across a misplaced bag with a visible luggage tag, handling it with care and following the suggested contact instructions can go a long way in reuniting it with its owner.

In the unfortunate event that you lose your luggage or find someone else's, it's essential to act responsibly. Contact the airline or relevant authorities to report the lost or found luggage and follow any instructions provided on the tag. By handling lost and found luggage with courtesy and efficiency, you contribute to a smoother and faster reunion process for both parties involved.

The 4 Best Luggage Trackers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Never lose luggage again with these easy-to-use tracking devices.

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Losing luggage before (or after) a trip can put a damper on any experience. While there is no way to prevent airlines from misplacing your luggage, using a luggage tracker is one of the best travel hacks for making the process easier if your suitcase doesn’t make it on a flight.

To recommend the best luggage trackers on the market, we tested eight different devices from trusted tech brands. After flying with all of the luggage trackers, we chose the top three trackers that were effortless to set up, accurately located our luggage, and were extremely useful for offering peace of mind while traveling. Our top pick might surprise you, so keep reading to learn more about what qualities we looked for in a luggage tag.

Best Overall

Eufy smarttrack link.

• Ease of Setup 5 /5
• Accuracy 5 /5
• Functionality 5 /5
• Design 4.5 /5

It pairs seamlessly with an iPhone and costs much less than AirTags.

The locator sound on the device could be louder.

Eufy’s luggage tracker edged out the popular Apple AirTags during testing by impressing us with the same (if not slightly better) features at a much lower price point. The device came ready to go and all we had to do was open the Find My app on an iPhone and the tracker automatically connected for hassle-free setup. Throughout our four-month tests, we used the tracker on eight different flights and every time we could see that our luggage was on the airplane before take-off, providing peace of mind en route to our final destination. In between trips, we simply left the tracker in the suitcase, so it was ready for our next adventure.

The device itself is thin and small, but not too small that it could get lost easily, so you can feel safe using it in a wallet or purse on a trip. One of our favorite traits is the hole in the upper corner that can be directly attached to a keychain or lanyard to keep track of car or house keys instead. Plus, the tracker is water-resistant and didn’t get damaged during travels, even after we tucked it into the bottom of a 50-pound checked suitcase. 

The Details: 1.46 x 1.46 x 0.26 inches | Replaceable lithium coin battery | No subscription fee | iOS compatible only | Water-resistant

Best for Everyday Use

Apple airtag.

• Accuracy 2.5 /5
• Functionality 4 /5
• Design 5 /5

The device is about the size and weight of a quarter, which makes it easy to use to track all types of items.

Over the course of our four-month tests, we did have issues with location accuracy as the AirTag can lose connection quite easily.

The small size of an Apple AirTag is ideal for keeping track of your items without noticing the device is tucked away. Since the tags are about the size of a quarter, they can fit in a suitcase, purse, or wallet with ease, and the metal material feels particularly durable compared to the other plastic models we tried. Made by Apple, the device pairs to an iPhone within seconds and is tracked via the Find My app, where users can also change the name of the device if there is more than one. With the popularity of AirTags , there are tons of compatible accessories (beyond placing them in luggage), including passport covers, wallets, keychains, and wristbands for kids. The biggest downside we experienced with the AirTag is that it didn’t accurately provide the location of the luggage and it spooked us several times with messages saying that luggage was left behind while we were taxiing on the tarmac. Although the AirTag wasn’t our top pick, we still think it’s an excellent option to help prevent lost bags . 

The Details: 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.31 inches | Replaceable lithium coin batteries | No subscription fee | iOS compatible only

Best Subscription

Tile pro bluetooth tracker.

• Ease of Setup 4.5 /5
• Accuracy 4 /5

You can use this device to track items for free, but the paid subscription offers worthwhile features for some travelers.

The device requires the Tile app and it wasn’t very intuitive to navigate for setup — even after four months of testing, we found the separate app to be annoying.

The Tile Pro Bluetooth Tracker offers the same basic functionality as the other devices we tried, including the ability to see the location of the device on an app. However, frequent fliers will appreciate the ability to upgrade the features of this device by getting one of the two premium plans offered by Tile that cost $30 or $100 per year depending on the plan (you can get the first year for free when you purchase the tracker through Tile). The premium subscription comes with smart alerts to tell you when the device isn’t in range, 30-day location history, and reimbursement for lost items that Tile can’t track with options for $100 or $1,000 reimbursement for either the premium or premium protection plan. 

For travelers who just want to use the Tile tracker as is, we were impressed with the durable and functional design of the plastic fob. It comes with a hole in it so you can use it for keys and wallets along with luggage, too. We had some slight issues setting up the device with the Tile app, but once we started messing around with it, it got easier to navigate over time.

The Details: 2.32 x 1.32 x 0.3 inches | Replaceable lithium metal batteries | Subscription fee | Android, iOS, and Smart Home compatible | Water-resistant

Best for Android Users

Samsung galaxy smarttag2.

It's easy to use and comes with a keychain that you can attach to just about any item.

The button is quite sensitive, so you may accidentally trigger the alarm if it's in a bag, purse, or pocket.

For Android users who are looking for a luggage tracker than can be used while on vacation and for everyday needs, the latest SmartTag from Samsung is a great choice. While it does require an app to use, the set-up process was easy and intuitive. Plus, there is no subscription required to use the SmartTag2 and the battery lasts over 500 days, so you really don't need to think of the device often after you attach it to your suitcase, purse, bag, or keys.

Throughout our tests, the device was very accurate for tracking location and it never lost connection. It's also small and lightweight, so you can easily attach it to just about any item you may want to track. The SmartTag also comes with a case and keychain for extra durability and convenience.

The Details: 2.06 x 1.13 x 0.31 inches | Replaceable lithium metal batteries | Android | Water-resistant

Other Luggage Trackers We Liked

The luggage tracker highlighted below didn’t quite make the cut, but we’re giving it an honorable mention after a solid performance in testing.

Dynotag Brushed Stainless Steel Smart Tag : This luggage tag isn’t technically a tracker since there isn’t a feature to locate the device, but if someone found it, the QR code would easily put them into contact with the owner of the luggage. 

To test eight luggage trackers, we traveled with every device in a checked bag over the course of four months to see how well each one performed based on ease of use, functionality, accuracy, and design. We also tested some of the trackers for everyday use to keep track of wallets, keychains, and headphones. 

First, we set up each device according to the instructions (or lack thereof) to see how easy or difficult it was to get started. After setting up the devices, we placed them in checked luggage and flew to various destinations, including routes with multiple layovers, to ensure our luggage made it onto the flights. In the end, our favorite luggage trackers were simple and intuitive to set up, accurately displayed the location of the item, and had a sleek and functional design meant for tracking luggage and other items while traveling.

Tips for Buying a Luggage Tracker

Make sure it’s compatible with your device.

The tricky thing about buying a luggage tracker is that not all of them are compatible with all operating systems. In general, most trackers can connect with just iOS or Android, but there are a few options that can connect with both. It’s almost always listed in the specifications section of the product so you’ll want to double-check before purchasing a tracker, especially if you plan on gifting it to someone .

Consider where and how you’ll be using it

Tracking devices are ideal for luggage, but they can also work well for keys, wallets, passports, purses, and more whether you’re on the road or at home. For travelers looking for a tracking device for wallets and passports, we recommend the Apple AirTag since there are tons of travel accessories made to hold the device and they are also slim enough to fit anywhere. For keys or AirPods, consider getting a tag with a hole designed for attaching the device to keychains or rings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Luggage trackers use Bluetooth and GPS signaling to relay the location of the device back to a phone or tablet. Even if you’re thousands of miles away, the tracker can usually display a location on a map on your device, which is particularly useful if your luggage gets lost in transit .

Although luggage trackers often have lithium batteries, they are still allowed in checked and carry-on bags. The FAA doesn’t allow rechargeable lithium batteries with more than 100 watt hours per battery, but, luckily, tracking devices have less than that.

What Information to Write on Luggage Tags (Guide)

Luggage tags play an important role in finding lost luggage . They're one of the most important accessories to have when it comes to traveling.

You see, when luggage gets misplaced, it's usually because the plastic label that identifies your suitcase somehow gets torn off. This can happen quite easily during transit between different airports. The barcode on the label contains who the suitcase belongs to, where it's supposed to be, and other important information. If that label is removed from the luggage, the airlines can no longer identify who it belongs to or where it needs to go.

That's why it's important to attach a separate luggage tag with all the necessary information to ensure that your luggage gets to where it belongs. At the same time, you don't want to reveal too much personal information in case your suitcase gets stolen . In this guide, we'll tell you exactly what you should write on luggage tags and what you should avoid writing down.

Unlocking the Benefits of Luggage Tags: A Traveler's Must-Have

Absolutely, you should consider using a luggage tag when you travel, and here's why:

Luggage tags are small but essential accessories that can make a significant difference in the safety and convenience of your journey. These unassuming tags serve as a crucial link between you and your luggage, ensuring that your bags reach their intended destination without any hiccups.

First and foremost, a luggage tag is your primary identifier in the vast sea of suitcases at airports, train stations, or bus terminals. Without a tag, your bag might easily be mistaken for someone else's, leading to confusion and potential delays. By attaching a luggage tag, you provide a clear and distinct way for airport staff, fellow passengers, and baggage handlers to identify your belongings.

But a luggage tag does more than just prevent mix-ups. It also acts as an insurance policy against the loss of your luggage. In case your bag gets misplaced during the chaos of travel, your contact information on the tag can significantly increase the chances of it being returned to you promptly. Without these details, it can be incredibly challenging for airlines or transportation authorities to reunite you with your missing items.

Moreover, luggage tags can also be a lifesaver when it comes to tracking your bags during layovers or connecting flights. Many airports have advanced tracking systems that allow passengers to monitor the whereabouts of their luggage in real-time through a smartphone app or website. To take advantage of this feature, you'll need a luggage tag with a unique identifier that corresponds to your travel records.

Additionally, luggage tags are not just practical; they can also be a stylish accessory. Many travelers opt for personalized or decorative tags that not only make their bags easily identifiable but also add a touch of personality to their belongings.

In summary, a luggage tag is a small investment that offers a myriad of benefits. It enhances the safety and convenience of your travels, reduces the risk of losing your bags, and adds a personal touch to your luggage. So, before embarking on your next adventure, make sure to attach a luggage tag to your bags—it's a simple yet indispensable item that can make your journey smoother and more worry-free.

What to Write on Luggage Tags for Checked and Carry-On Luggage

For checked and carry-on luggage, your [amazon link="B06WWB75FX" title="luggage tag"] should contain the following information:

• Your name and surname, with your first name shortened to one letter.
• Your e-mail address should be on the next line. Use a secondary e-mail address to avoid phishing attempts in case your bag gets lost.
• Your mobile phone number with the proper country and area code.

In the above picture, we've shown an example of what you should write on your luggage tag. As you can see, we purposely have only included the most essential information to get in contact with you. Since the luggage tag is attached to the exterior of your bag, you need to be careful of what information you're sharing.

You may be thinking, "What's the point of luggage tags on carry-on luggage?" The reason might surprise you! Quite often, cheaper airlines will overbook flights and allow too many carry-on bags on a plane. Naturally, the overhead compartments won't be able to fit everything that passengers are bringing onto the plane.

In those cases, the airlines will ask some passengers to check in their carry-on bags, free of charge. And, if it gets checked in, it could potentially get lost. Also, you could forget your carry-on in the back of a taxicab or at a hotel, so having tags to identify your bags is a great way to avoid possible complications.

What to Write on Luggage Tags for Your Child's Luggage

On your child's luggage tags, you should avoid writing their names for security reasons. Instead, write your own name and contact details, and add a mobile phone number just in case. It's important to protect your children's identity!

Also, you should include more than one luggage tag. For instance, if your child has a backpack and a suitcase, it's a good idea to put one tag in the suitcase, one in the backpack, and one in their pocket. This will help you to be reunited with your child in case you get separated.

Should You Use Luggage Tags?

You should consider attaching tags to your items anytime someone else is going to be handling your luggage. You can easily avoid having misplaced baggage if you attach a well-made and durable tag to your bags. Also, providing this kind of information might help ensure that someone else doesn't steal your luggage from the airport.

[amazon link="B06WWB75FX" title="luggage tag"] come in plenty of different colors so you can choose one that will make your bags easy to spot from the baggage claim area. You can't deny how much more efficient flying is by having luggage tags! All things considered, tags are an inexpensive way to give you some peace of mind while you're traveling.

Tip: Never Put Your Home Address on a Luggage Tag

A lot of travelers write their home address and home phone number on their luggage tags. It's not a great idea to do that because you never know who is looking for other people's information. Theft of personal items or even your identity begins when we aren't careful with what information we put out into the world.

This kind of information is exactly what thieves want. Robbing an empty house while the owners are on a vacation is as easy as taking candy from a child. Since your luggage tag is attached to the outside of your suitcase, potential thieves could easily take a picture of your tag and rob your house while you're away.

That's why you shouldn't write your home address, home phone number, or your friend's address there . Provide just your contact details and nothing else. While we're at it, let's also put a stop to writing things like, "I'll be on a vacation for the next two weeks and my house is completely unguarded!" on your Facebook timeline. We live in the age of social media and many people tend to overshare information, opening themselves up to danger.

Tip: Place a Secondary Tag Inside Your Checked Suitcase

In addition to attaching a regular luggage tag outside, some people like to put more information inside of their bags . If the exterior luggage tag somehow gets accidentally ripped off, the additional information inside would work as a backup. If this appeals to you, we can help you with the process.

Write your contact information ( name, surname, phone, and e-mail ), your flight information, and contact details for the hotels you'll be staying at on a regular piece of A4 paper. Put the paper in the zippered pocket in the main compartment so someone can easily spot it when they open the bag. Because it's stored inside, you can write more information there than you would on the tags that sit on the outside of your luggage. If your suitcase happens to get lost, the airport security would open your bag and look for anything that could identify the owner.

Tip: Always Remove Any Airline Stickers Before Checking Your Bag

We all have seen that one guy who has twenty different luggage labels on his suitcase because he thinks it makes him look super cool and well-traveled. Or maybe you've seen the same thing with people who have twenty different passport stamps constantly visible to everyone at all times. In reality, this just isn't a good idea.

Having too many labels on your suitcase makes it significantly harder for the baggage handlers to find the right label, so the chances of your baggage getting misplaced rise significantly. That's why you should always remove all labels when you get home. Having one or two labels that you forgot to remove is okay but don't go overboard!

Tip: What You Shouldn't Write on Luggage Tags When Traveling Internationally

If you're traveling internationally, you need to be extra careful. You should avoid writing anything that shows your nationality, especially if you're from America and traveling to the Middle East. Unfortunately, a lot of nationalities are frowned upon in some parts of the world, and explicitly stating your nationality might make you a more fruitful target. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Where's the Best Place to Attach Luggage Tags?

If your suitcase has a lock, it's best to attach a luggage tag to the exterior of your suitcase. The best places for attaching your tag are usually around the top or side handle so it's more noticeable. Some suitcases come with dedicated luggage tag holders on the backside which work better because they can't get detached from your bag (a s seen in the picture above. )

However, if your suitcase isn't locked, you could just store your luggage tag inside. Just make sure to put it in a place that you can spot it quickly, such as the zippered mesh pocket in the main compartment. Attaching a luggage tag in the main compartment is arguably even better because it can't be accidentally lost and other people won't see it when you're in a public space.

Can You Use Metal Luggage Tags?

Some people prefer to use [amazon link="B01N02DPKM" title="metal luggage tags"] because they won't get squished and will last longer. They're perfectly fine to use on carry-on's and personal items if you wish. We looked around and couldn't find any information from the TSA or FAA stating that they're prohibited. People who use them said that they've never had any issues with airport security.

Are Electronic Luggage Tags With Barcodes Allowed?

Recently a lot of startups have popped up that promise electronic ink-based luggage tags in the near future. Some have already started selling them even though it's still a new technology. Should you jump on the bandwagon and start using these now?

Electronic luggage tags have an ink-based screen that shows your contacts and a barcode with the current flight information. They replace the regular sticker labels that airlines use currently. Although the idea seems promising, right now they're still very expensive and aren't compatible with most airlines. We have high hopes for the future of these tags, though!

Can You Buy Luggage Tags at the Airport?

Most airlines will offer their passengers free luggage tags at the check-in or ticket desks. They won't be as durable as regular luggage tags, though. It's just a piece of cardboard with a flimsy piece of string attached to it. They'll work for a single flight but aren't considered to be long-term. That said, many smaller shops inside airports will also sell regular luggage tags. They'll cost around $5-$20 but they'll be much more durable and last longer. So if you forgot to attach a luggage tag and you're about to leave for the airport, don't worry. You will most likely be able to get one at the airport.

Cruise luggage tags: A printable PDF with a TPG twist

After you've checked in for your cruise, you won't want to forget your luggage tags — and I don't mean the hard plastic ones with your contact information that you attach to your suitcases in case your bags are lost.

Your cruise line will generally provide you with a PDF file of luggage tags to print as part of your electronic travel documents when you've completed your registration and provided your necessary details. However, if you're tired of the same old cruise line luggage tags, check out our special TPG version below, which you can use to supplement the ones your cruise line gives you.

Printable luggage tags for your next cruise

Click here or on the link below the photo to open a PDF file that you can print or download and save.

Click here to print or download the above cruise luggage tags.

How to print the cruise luggage tags

• Click the link above to open the PDF version of the luggage tag. (You must have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer.)
• Click the printer icon near the top right corner of the screen.
• Select your printer; make any necessary adjustments to page orientation, size and color; and set the number of copies you'll need. (Print one copy per piece of luggage that you plan to leave with porters when you arrive at the terminal. You don't need them for items you plan to personally carry onto the ship with you.)
• Click the "print" button.

How to attach the cruise luggage tags

• Using a pen, print your name, the ship's name and your sailing date and cabin number on the lines provided.
• Flip the page over so the printed side is facing down.
• Starting at one end, fold the paper twice, longways, toward the middle, using the printed lines as guides.
• Repeat step three from the other end. (The goal is to have a long, skinny strip that displays only the portion of the tag with the TPG logo and lines for your information, with the rest of the page folded underneath to make it thicker.)
• Slide the tag face down through the handle on your suitcase.
• Overlap the two ends so the yellow bars line up, creating a ring, and staple or tape the tag in place.

Tip : If you're flying to your embarkation destination, wait until after your flight to attach the tags to your luggage so they don't detach during transit. Be sure to use them in addition to your cruise line's printable tags, not instead of them.

If you think you need a sturdier way to display your luggage tag information, I recommend these protective cruise luggage tag holders that are reusable and won't rip like paper does.

This Away Suitcase Turned Me Into a Carry-On Traveler

Waiting at baggage claim? No thanks.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Times are tough right now. You are probably on a budget like everybody else, including me—which means I’m looking for every possible way to cut back, particularly when it comes to travel expenses. Paying $40 to check a bag...in this economy? No thank you.

In terms of features, The Bigger Carry-On has it all (pretty much). It’s lightweight and has a compressive panel inside—and when I say compressive, I really mean it. Pull the straps like a corset and it flattens your clothes. Voilà! It also has a TSA-approved lock and, one of my favorite offerings, a waterproof laundry bag that detaches and rolls up to use hardly any space at all. There’s even an optional portable battery attachment for an additional cost, but I think it’s worth it for those nightmare scenarios when your phone is dying and there are no outlets in sight.

It has four wheels with 360-degree spin, which at first made me think, big whoop, who cares? Then I had the slightly traumatic experience of borrowing a huge suitcase from my parents. It only had two wheels, and I don’t know what kind of spin it was, but it certainly wasn’t 360 degrees. When it comes to suitcase wheels, you really don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. Now, I appreciate this carry-on’s easy mobility even more. Lastly, Away offers a 100-day trial period, so there’s really no pressure.

Okay, let’s talk about durability. I confess that my carry-on is quite new, and has only been on a handful of trips with me thus far. That said, I can’t vouch much for its longevity. My dear friend Amber Love Bond , on the other hand, has brought her Bigger Carry-On on over 100 trips over the past five years. As a full-time travel writer who visited 39 destinations just last year alone, this girl knows her stuff. So when she says her bag has held up flawlessly, it counts for something.

She also agrees that you’ll have a sufficient amount of space. “It’s Narnia; It holds everything,” she tells me. While I haven’t had the chance to bring mine on a trip longer than five days, Bond says she regularly packs hers for up to 12 days at a time—and she’s not one to skimp on fashion, I can attest. (Her record was 29 outfits for 12 days in Tahiti.) “I have absolutely zero complaints,” she says. From a professional traveler, that’s pretty unbelievable.

Away The Bigger Carry-On

For what it’s worth, I conducted my own test and found that I could easily pack five pairs of full-length pants, five long-sleeve tops, two dresses, two bulky sweaters, two swimsuits, one set of pajamas, one exercise outfit, two pairs of shoes, my toiletry case, and an iPad. I probably could have squeezed in more if I had, you know, actually been packing.

Listen, dragging any luggage through the rough-and-tumble streets of New York City will never be a delight. That’s just a fact. So when it comes to judging a suitcase by its ability to hold up to metropolitan areas, I never hope for much. Do the wheels fall off? If so, that’s bad. But my Away has survived its brief encounters with NYC and all its elements, and Bond tells me she’s made it through Paris’ cobblestone streets and Glasgow’s rain with no issues from her suitcase either. (Although she does recommend traveling with a magic eraser to keep it clean from any scuffs.)

As I commit to the carry-on lifestyle, my final verdict is that this suitcase is well-worth the $295 price tag—$315 if you opt for the battery. That adds up to about seven checked bags, meaning this carry-on pays itself back in less than four roundtrips. Saving myself the cost of checking a bag, plus the time spent waiting at baggage claim (I waited for 90 minutes once), and the serenity of knowing my bag will not get lost? I’m in. Worst comes to worst, I might have to gate check it every now and then, but I’ll still revel in the extra $40 in my pocket. If you see me at an airport from now on, it’ll be with my trusty Away.
