Attaching your QR code to luggage or personal items
The easiest way to attach your QR code to luggage or personal items is to use a high quality transparent tape to seal the QR code to your luggage. Then you’ve options to stick it directly onto your luggage or personal items, or, you could seal the reverse side and make a tag which can be tied to your luggage.
Note: For extra security, we always recommend that you attach your QR code to the underside of luggage or suitcases, to avoid it being scanned and read by anyone close to you (for example: if you’re waiting in a baggage check-in area at an airport).
