Question 1

How do I measure my luggage to find the right size?

Accepted Answer

Measure the HEIGHT from the floor to the top of your bag (including wheels). Then measure the FRONT and SIDE widths across any protruding pouches and add them together. Use these totals to find your size: Small — height 52–55 cm, front + side max 60 cm. Medium — height 65–70 cm, front + side max 71 cm. Large — height 70–78 cm, front + side max 79 cm. Duffle — height 73 cm, front + side max 79 cm. These measurements should be taken before the Luggage Protector is fitted.

Question 2

Will the plastic pollute the oceans?

No — not if you dispose of a Luggage Protector in a responsible manner.

Question 3

Can a Luggage Protector be recycled?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It is totally recyclable and non-toxic when incinerated.

Question 6

How do I access the handles on my luggage after a Luggage Protector has been fitted?

Question 7

Can a Luggage Protector be cut?

Accepted Answer

It can be, but it will be evidence of tampering which you can then report prior to leaving the arrivals hall.

Question 8

Will the use of a Luggage Protector prevent theft from my luggage?

Accepted Answer

No. Similarly to the burglar bars on the windows of your home, it is a deterrent, but not an impenetrable barrier.

Question 9

Is a Luggage Protector reusable?

Accepted Answer

No, its design dictates that it can only be used once, if you wish to use all its evidence of tampering features.

Question 10

Will a Luggage Protector prevent my luggage from being tampered with?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

Will my luggage stay dry?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Dry and clean. Luggage Protector will prevent your luggage from getting wet and dirty.

Question 12

Will a Luggage Protector deter the insertion of illegal substances into my luggage?

Does Luggage Protector fit any size suitcase?

Accepted Answer

No. We have 3 sizes for suitcases and 2 for duffle bags. The website shows how you should measure your luggage so that you purchase the most suitable size.

Question 14

Why are there Tamper Evident Seals?

Accepted Answer

With their designed ability to leave a visible message when lifted, your ability to find evidence of tampering is enhanced.

Question 15

Can I make my own Luggage Protector?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you feel it will be more advantageous, you can source a bag that will fit onto your luggage and then cut out for the wheels and handles. The question is: how would you then seal this bag?

Question 16

I can apply my own stretch wrap!

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Consider though that stretch wrap can be removed in the terminal and replaced after someone has accessed the contents of your suitcase — and you will be none the wiser until you open your luggage at your destination.
