What is LuggageLock?

LuggageLock™ is a disposable tamper evident security seal designed for use with travel bags. Usage is simple - simply thread through the zipper heads, pull it tight through the locking hole. Break the number tab off LuggageLock™ and keep it safely for reference.

Upon arrival at your destination, inspect the seal to ensure that no one has tampered with your luggage. If the number on your tab is different to that on the seal, it's very likely your luggage has been tampered with, and you should report it to the authorities as soon as possible.

No sharp implements or tools are needed for the removal of the LuggageLock™ - just rip the tear-off tail until the seal breaks apart.

Why not use padlocks or cable ties?

Many airlines recommend not using padlocks as they stop officials from inspecting luggage during the journey. They will very likely be cut off by the officials, and cheap padlocks are easily opened and relocked.

TSA (Transportation Security Administration) approved locks are now readily available - they allow a TSA agent to open the padlock with a master-key. Unfortunately these are only good for the United States - outside of the USA airlines will treat them like any other combination lock and cut them off.

Cable ties are not uniquely serial numbered and are commonly available; anyone may purchase another cable tie and relock your luggage.

There are other baggage seal brands on the market, why should I use LuggageLock™?

Our LuggageLock™ seals have been designed to be used for travel bags. As such, several key features have been incorporated into the seal that put LuggageLock™ a cut above the rest.

Tear-off number tab - This convenient number tab allows you to apply the seal and check-in the bags without wasting time memorizing numbers or writing on reference cards.

Unique number - Every seal has a unique serial number. You will not find any LuggageLock™ with the same number in its colour type.

Metal Jaw - A metal jaw locking mechanism provides a higher level of security while delivering a user-friendly smooth pull action.

Tool-less removal - There are times where you may need to open your bags during your journey. The ability to remove the seal by ripping the tear-off tail will allow you access to your luggage easily and without additional tools such as knives and scissors.

Small diameter stem - The small diameter of the stem allows the seal to be applied to even tiny zipper heads.

In addition to these features, LuggageLock™ is designed and manufactured by Essentra (formerly ABRIC), an internationally renowned security seal company. LuggageLock™'s locking mechanism has been approved by the UK and US Customs.
