Luggage Tags and Luggage Straps: A Perfect Match

When you buy a luggage strap, it makes it easier to identify your bag. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a brightly colored strap— even a plain strap in blue, gray, or black serves as an additional identifier. However, if you want to be on the safe side, it's best to combine it with a luggage tag. Using both means there’s virtually no chance of confusing your luggage with someone else's.

Frequently Asked Questions About Luggage Straps

Why Should You Use a Luggage Strap?

As mentioned earlier, a luggage strap is especially useful if you frequently fly and check in your luggage. Baggage transported in the cargo hold is subjected to significant stress, which can cause damage—particularly to delicate items. A luggage strap helps stabilize your bag, minimizing the risk of damage. It also makes it harder for the bag to open unintentionally, reducing the risk of improper handling. Lastly, straps assist with identifying your bag, which is especially helpful if you have a common suitcase in a standard color. Without any additional markings, it can be difficult to tell your bag apart from others.

What Types of Luggage Straps Are There?

Luggage straps can differ significantly, and understanding these differences is important when making a good choice. The most important features to consider include:

Width
Length
Design
Brand
Material
Closure mechanism

The brand itself isn’t the most important factor, but luggage straps from well-known brands like Samsonite or Travelite are generally better than no-name products from manufacturers unrelated to luggage. However, more crucial than the brand are width, length, and closure mechanism. While width and length need to match your suitcase, the closure is key for safety. In general: A strap with a combination lock is more secure than one with just a simple buckle.

How to Choose the Right Luggage Strap?

The features mentioned above are all important when selecting a luggage strap. Even subtle details like the material matter. Admittedly, the material is not as critical as with an actual suitcase, but materials like nylon, polyester, or polypropylene are ideal, offering a great balance of flexibility and durability—assuming the strap is well-made. Besides a good material, all you really need are suitable dimensions and a secure closure. Still need a strap to secure your luggage? Don’t wait—on bags.co.uk, you’ll find a wide selection of luggage straps that meet all important criteria.
