What is the best way to identify luggage in order to identify on the airport carousel?

As I understand it, just tying a ribbon on your luggage handle or the standard id tag will not do the trick..I have observed some luggage that has some small strips of bright tape, wonder what type of tape it is & where one might obtain. This tape seems to be very durable.

I think a ribbon will do fine. Just tie it tight and make sure it is a distinct color.

Get something out there on your suitcase like a big sticker,
or even just buy a bag thats a bold colour?

I use stickers on the smooth places, where they’ll least likely rub off; use several.
my son ties white elastic on both sides of handle.
Polka Dot spray paint would probably be unique. [vinyl shoe paint]

A name tag that stands out in some way. My friends used to use something with neon colors or a wacky design.

Buy colored duct tape at any hardware store.

You can buy different colored electrical tape and tape the handles of your luggage.

You can buy this tape at any hardware store

You can buy all types of very strong and brightly colored tape at any hardware store and many stationary stores, just don’t tape over the zippers where airport security may have to remove the tape should they want to inspect the contents of your bag.
