It Starts with the Numbers
On the surface, paper luggage tags might seem like a negligible expense. But across hundreds of rooms, thousands of guests, and countless check-ins each year, the costs stack up fast.
Let’s take a closer look:
| Hotel Size | Paper Tag Usage (Monthly) | Estimated Monthly Cost | Annual Cost |
| 100 rooms | ~2,500 tags | ~£250 | £3,000 |
| 200 rooms | ~5,000 tags | ~£500 | £6,000 |
| 400 rooms | ~10,000 tags | ~£1,000 | £12,000 |
These figures don’t even account for delivery fees, storage, admin time, and waste management. Nor do they factor in the brand impact of handing guests flimsy, generic tags.
One-Time Investment. Long-Term Gain.
Tag & Go offers a simple but powerful solution: reusable, hotel-branded luggage tags embedded with smart QR codes. Each tag is made to last 2+ years, dramatically cutting down the number of tags you need to purchase or reorder.
A 400-room hotel needs only around 2,000 Tag & Go smart tags to operate efficiently—80% fewer than paper tags each month. With minimal replenishment (just 5–10% per year due to loss or wear), hotels that switch typically break even within months, then save thousands annually.
Cut More Than Just Costs
Reusable tags also free up staff time. No more printing, cutting, or handwriting tags for guests at check-in. Instead, each guest receives a ready-to-go, professional-quality tag that works across their entire stay—and beyond.
This means:
- Faster, smoother check-ins
- Less manual labour
- Fewer lost bags (thanks to built-in digital recovery)
The Upside for Your Guests
Financial savings are just one benefit. Reusable tags also signal care, quality, and sustainability to your guests. The Tag & Go system makes luggage handling feel seamless, secure, and smart—something paper tags simply can’t match.
Invest Once. Save Every Year.
Whether you manage a boutique 100-room property or a flagship 400-room hotel, switching to Tag & Go is a no-brainer from a cost-efficiency standpoint.
