Frequently Asked Questions

BagiTag and BagiStrap contains tiny computers that emits signal wherein the BagiTag App can decode. This radio signal can be picked up by your mobile device's wireless communication and Location services.

BagiTag is specially designed for your holiday or work trips to cope with the environmental and physical demands that checked-in luggage endures when travelling long distances. To give the BagiTag the waterproofness and physical strength required, we have completely sealed the technology and battery in solid resin. We estimated the 2 year battery life on 2 work trips or holidays per month (technically 960 hours of travel) so if you travel more then the battery life will be less. If you travel less then the battery life will be more!

Please note that BagiTag is not designed for daily use as an anti-lost device so if you attach it to something you use most days, then the battery life may reduce to a matter of months and you will need to buy a replacement BagiTag when the App gives you a low battery alert.

The BagiTag App can be download easily from the Google Play Store for Android users or the Apple App Store for iOS users.
