When traveling long distances or on business trips, we usually carry a lot of luggage, so suitcases need to be checked. However, when we arrive at our destination and go to the baggage claim, it is not easy to find our suitcase in the face of hundreds of dazzling and similar-looking suitcases, which often takes a lot of time.
In order to quickly find your suitcase on the luggage conveyor belt, you can use some simple methods to decorate it. Here are some practical suggestions to help you personalize your suitcase and make it stand out in a busy airport or train station.
1. Put a unique label
Labeling is one of the most common ways to mark luggage. You can write your name and contact information on the label so that you can quickly identify it when there is a lot of luggage, and it is also convenient for others to contact you in time if they take your luggage by mistake. Although airlines will put standard luggage tags on luggage when checking in, these tags are often not enough for you to quickly find your luggage among many pieces. Therefore, it is recommended that you use colorful, large, and eye-catching handwritten labels to replace or supplement these standard labels. In particular, fluorescent labels can not only attract your attention and allow you to find your luggage on the luggage conveyor belt quickly but also increase safety when traveling at night.
2. Use colorful straps
For travelers carrying soft-shell suitcases or duffel bags, using straps is essential. Straps can not only maximize the compression of items and increase packing capacity, but also effectively secure luggage. If you choose colorful or patterned straps, it will not only have a decorative effect, but more importantly, it will make your luggage stand out among many items and facilitate quick identification.
3. Stick creative stickers
There are many types of stickers, including cartoon characters, travel-themed patterns, text sentences and other personalized options. You can freely combine and design according to your preferences. By using your creativity and inspiration, you can transform an ordinary regular suitcase into a unique travel suitcase at a low cost. However, these stickers are more suitable for hard-shell suitcases, because they may fall off more easily for fabric suitcases.
4. Hang ornaments
Hanging personalized ornaments on the handle or zipper end of the suitcase is a simple, fast and beautiful way. You can use props around you to decorate, such as ribbons, lanyards, old scarves, etc., wrap them around the handle of the suitcase and tie a knot to ensure that it will not be easily untied during transportation.
Of course, you can also buy some cute key chains that suit your personal preferences as ornaments, such as small doll pendants, which are very popular. In addition, you can also design and customize a unique luggage tag with your message engraved on it, which is both practical and adds a sense of ceremony.
5. Hand-painted patterns
If you have artistic talent or are interested in painting, then hand-painting patterns on your suitcase will be a very creative choice. In order to better color, it is usually recommended to paint on a hard shell suitcase and buy paint or spray paint suitable for covering the surface. Of course, the most important thing is to spread your creative inspiration on this “suitcase canvas”. Whether it is people, animals, landscapes, or various graffiti texts, it can make your suitcase unique and full of personality.
6. Buy or customize a unique suitcase
If you want to have a unique suitcase without any additional decoration, avoid choosing common colors such as black and gray when purchasing. There are actually many colorful and colorful suitcases or travel bags on the market. Be bold and choose a bag with a unique color or pattern, and you will almost certainly not have the same suitcase as other passengers. If you are looking for a more personalized style, you can also consider designing a custom suitcase, although this may increase the cost. But for frequent travelers, this is a once-and-for-all solution.
By following these tips, you will be able to easily locate your suitcase among hundreds of suitcases quickly, saving you from wasting unnecessary time at the suitcase claim area and the worry of having your luggage lost.
