BagID 2

The BagID is a Norwegian-developed electronic baggage tag designed to replace the traditional paper tag and keep track of your luggage - for a smooth and stress-free travel experience when travelling with checked luggage.

Our expertise in the aviation industry has been invaluable, giving us deep insight into the harsh conditions luggage faces - from baggage systems to handling by ground staff. To withstand such rigorous treatment, every aspect of the design and component selection must meet exceptionally high standards.

The BagID has been developed in collaboration with airports, airlines and two Norwegian design agencies Eker Design and Permafrost.

The outer casing of the BagID device is made of durable plastic, designed to withstand both rain and impact. BagID uses an e-ink display that replicates the appearance of traditional ink on paper, offering high contrast and a non-reflective surface for optimal readability.

When designing the BagID 2, one priority stood out: Designing a strong and long-lasting baggage tag with excellent functionality, built to join you for numerous journeys to come.

Battery

Our electronic bag tag contains a small lithium battery (< 0.3 g) that complies with IATA's regulations. BagID 2 is an approved portable electronic device (PED) which makes it safe to send with checked luggage. It can be easily charged with a USB-C cable and has battery life of approximately 1 year with tracking, and up to 2 years without tracking enabled.

Buttons

BagID 2 has two buttons on the front that allows you to control functions such as Bluetooth and execute commands like reset and reboot. They may feel a bit hard to press, which is intentional as we expect the device to undergo rough handling during travel. The different combinations ensures that your BagID won't reset during flights.

High readability

The screen offers high and stable readability, and it has been thoroughly tested with various scanner systems to ensure accurate reading.

Robust screen

A soft, flexible screen reduces the risk of damage from hard impacts and rough handling. This prevents the screen from breaking during flights. 

Long battery time

The e-ink screen uses very little power, and even if the battery runs low, you can be confident that the baggage tag will still be visible.

Tracking

BagID is a certified third-party accessory for Apple and Samsung, meaning it is part of their IoT networks, Apple Find My and Samsung SmartThings Find. Using encrypted Bluetooth signals, BagID communicates with millions of Apple and Samsung devices to determine the location of your baggage.

Airline integration

The BagID app is integrated with the systems of our partner airlines. This means that when you add your flight into the BagID app and check in your baggage digitally, the app will retrieve and verify the information from your airline. This allows you to generate baggage tags the same way you would on the airport. The difference is that you will receive the barcode and baggage receipt digitally.

No need to print paper tags!

Security and privacy

The BagID uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone. Data sent from the BagID app to our backend servers is encrypted, ensuring your personal data stays secure. Tracking data from your BagID to other devices in the IoT networks is also encrypted, as both Apple and Samsung prioritize your privacy.
