6Caption: Travelers often use ribbons to identify luggage, but experts suggest alternative methods.
Better Ways to Identify Your Suitcase
Fortunately, there are safer alternatives for making luggage easier to recognize.
Instead of tying ribbons or fabric strips to handles, travel experts recommend choosing luggage with distinctive features built into its design.
Some popular options include:
- Brightly colored suitcases
- Unique luggage covers
- Personalized luggage tags
- Hard-shell cases with distinctive patterns
- Custom stickers placed flat on the suitcase surface
- Colored handle wraps designed specifically for travel
These methods help passengers identify their bags without introducing loose materials that could interfere with baggage systems.
Many travelers are now moving away from traditional black suitcases entirely and choosing brighter colors that stand out naturally at baggage claim.
