Chat
Afterwards, you can talk to the finder, while also choosing whether to hide your personal details or share phone/email info to quickly arrange a meeting to retrieve your luggage.
Procedure for setting up the tag
Setup is remarkably easy. Just log in to your account, find your assigned QR code on the website, and fill in some basic details for the finder. (Note that you can simply hide these details later if you want. The data you provide can be changed later, and you can also set up QR codes for family members and close friends.

Reasons for getting abTag codes
- Traveling This is probably the most obvious reason. While traveling, many things could happen that cause you to unintentionally lose your luggage. If a passerby, stranger, or even better, a member of the location’s staff notices the item has been without the owner for a long time, they can scan its code and contact you.
- Airport mix-Ups/mistakes Airport mix-ups don’t happen too often, but when they do it’s best to come prepared so the airport staff can assist you in retrieving your luggage. All the staff has to do is scan the code you’ve placed on your bag and chat with you so they can return it!
- Left behind at a hotel or other venue This is the usual suspect. It’s super common to leave behind a small bag or piece of luggage while in a hurry or simply by mistake. Well, these forgotten items can also be retrieved by using abTag QR codes. Once someone notices your unattended bag, they can quickly scan it to start the process of getting it back to you.
- Conferences, concerts, events, and even instrument transportation
Our QR codes are also handy for those who often participate in large-scale events, conferences, or specific, community-based gatherings. You usually take some form of a small bag or a suitcase with you for those types of environments, so it’s best to protect yourself in the event that you lose them by placing a tag on them beforehand.
You could be a rock climber, a musician, or anyone else who needs constant transportation of their tools for work or leisure. In any case, you’ll want to have peace of mind when dealing with instruments and other tools that can be otherwise expensive to find or replace. It’s especially useful if you transport gear in bulk, as you can get a distinct QR code for each item. - Losing belongings on public transport Taking public transportation is one of the most common ways people lose their belongings. Maybe you’re trying to concentrate on remembering your station and getting off at the right time, when you forget a suitcase or bag at your seat. In these instances, to avoid getting your bags stolen or lost, a QR code is the ideal protection.
- Less stress in general This isn’t really a specific scenario, but it’s worth noting that securing your belongings with this backup option will save you from a lot of worrying in the long run. That way, you can focus on what’s really important in the moment.
- Always reachable in case of emergencies . Aside from losing a bag, the staff or other individuals who find your bags may need to contact you for other reasons. Even if your item wasn’t lost, in case of emergencies, having an open contact line with others can improve the situation.
All in all, abTag codes are a must for travellers
- Instant notification and speed . When you’ve lost an item, especially abroad, it’s best to retrieve the item ASAP, and the tag helps you do just that!
