How to use and Apply Personalisation StickersUpdated an hour ago

Personalisation stickers are a simple yet effective way to make your luggage stand out while adding a touch of individuality. Many collections from Samsonite and American Tourister include sticker sheets designed specifically for this purpose helping you quickly identify your suitcase on the carousel and reduce the chances of mix-ups during travel.

Whether you’re heading on a weekend break or a long-haul adventure, here’s how to get the most out of your luggage personalisation stickers.

Why Personalise Your Luggage?

Adding stickers isn’t just about style, it’s also practical. With so many similar-looking suitcases in circulation, a personalised case is far easier to spot. It can:

• Save time at baggage reclaim
• Reduce the risk of someone else taking your bag by mistake
• Add a unique, fun look to your luggage
• Help families quickly identify multiple cases

Step-by-Step: Applying Your Stickers

1. Choose the Right Spot

Pick a flat, visible area on your suitcase. The front panel or near the top is usually best, as it will be easy to recognise when your bag comes through on the carousel.

2. Clean the Surface

Before applying any stickers, wipe the area with a damp cloth and let it dry completely. This ensures the adhesive sticks properly and lasts longer.

3. Plan Your Design

Lay out your stickers before peeling them off. Whether you prefer a minimal look or something more eye-catching, planning helps avoid overcrowding or uneven spacing.

4. Apply Carefully

Peel the sticker slowly and press it firmly onto the surface. Smooth out any air bubbles with your fingers, working from the centre outward.

5. Let Them Set

Give the stickers a little time to fully adhere before handling your suitcase too much—especially if you’re about to travel.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep it simple: A few well-placed stickers can be more effective than covering the entire case
• Avoid edges and corners: These areas are more prone to peeling
• Use contrasting colours: This makes your suitcase easier to spot from a distance
• Refresh when needed: Stickers can be replaced over time if they wear out

Are the Stickers Durable?

The stickers provided with Samsonite and American Tourister products are designed to withstand the rigours of travel, including handling, friction, and minor exposure to the elements. However, like any external accessory, they may show signs of wear after repeated trips—especially on checked luggage.

Personalisation Without Commitment

One of the biggest advantages of these stickers is flexibility. If you change your style or want to update your look, they can usually be removed and replaced without damaging the suitcase surface, making it easy to refresh your luggage whenever you like.
