My problem isn’t finding my bag. It’s other people grabbing it.
When you’re down at baggage claim, it’s not always easy to find the right bag. My problem has been other people grabbing my bag. I’ve had to walk up to someone three times and say, I think that’s my bag. So I got a bright, nuclear-green silicone luggage tag, and I’ve learned a trick about where to put it.
- Impossible to miss
- Metal loops, not silicone or leather
- Card has a plastic shield
- Cheap
- A business card won’t fit
- Silicone could be ripped off if someone tried

The tag
It’s very soft, and you can get it with different letters on it, so pick your initial or your school. It’s about the size of a business card, though I don’t think a business card fits inside. It comes with a paper card for your name and address, and a plastic shield covers it.
The hole has a rivet, and it comes with a couple of metal loops. Silicone or leather loops won’t stand up to much, so I really like that.
The hack: put it on the grab handle
Put the tag wherever people are going to grab the bag, usually the side handle or the top handle. Stickers might be on the side facing down, but nobody can miss a tag on the handle they’re grabbing. It makes them do a double take and check that it’s really theirs.
Use it on carry-ons too
How many times have they said there’s no overhead bin space left and everyone has to check their carry-ons? A bright tag helps there too. It’s the same reason you wear a feather boa or a Peter von Panda t-shirt: you want to stand out.
