A luggage strap is a tight woven strap which fits around any item of luggage helping to both secure the item, especially if it is a bag or un-structured case. They also help to make bags immediately spotted.
Straps are often made from polypropylene which is a strengthened woven fabric which has a versatile and easily manipulated structure but less so than traditional elastic. It is extremely strong and hard wearing and comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. Straps are often sold in larger sizes than are required for a particular item of luggage with the facility to tighten them using an adjustor made from hard plastic as would tighten a belt or security strap in a vehicle.
Security
As our need to protect both ourselves and our belongings becomes more intense and ever present luggage straps have been modified to meet the need and there are now models available with personalised manual and digital locks on. The purpose of these locks is that only the owner or someone having the code can open or lock them making the items contained in the luggage much safer. Given the current threats to airline and airport security however it is little surprise that these locks are regarded with suspicion by airport security in many countries.
Advantages to the Owner
Luggage Straps provide a huge advantage to the owner of the luggage, not least at the airport carousel which is a well known area of confusion; with people standing at the wrong conveyor, picking up the wrong case because it looks so similar to theirs or simply picking up the wrong case simply to give them something to do. Having a luggage strap can help to counter against this. They are available in a full spectrum of colours and patterns which make them easily identifiable. They can even be personalised with the name of the owner or a favoured logo such as a sporting company graphic as favourite mans for personalisation. Certainly, the many people who choose to use a luggage strap favour them over a colourful scarf tied haphazardly to a handle or a multitude of stickers.
