The Airport Luggage Problem
Waiting at the airport baggage claim area is often a frustrating experience for many passengers. Hundreds of identical black and grey suitcases circle the carousel repeatedly, making it extremely difficult to identify bags quickly.

Travelers frequently grab the wrong suitcase by mistake or spend precious minutes staring closely at every piece of luggage that passes by.This frequent hold up extends the departure procedure for all passengers.
A Clever Solution in South Korea
A group of travellers visiting South Korea recently decided to solve this common airport issue in a very creative way. Instead of using traditional items like colourful ribbons, they found a different method.

Rather than relying on standard leather tags or bright straps, they wrapped their suitcases in custom fabric covers. These covers were printed with giant, close-up photographs of their own faces.
How the Custom Covers Work
These special suitcase protectors are made from flexible, stretchy fabric designed to fit snugly over standard hard-shell luggage. Users simply upload a high-resolution digital photograph of a face to an online printing service.

The company prints the image across the entire front surface of the fabric cover. When stretched over a bag, the final result displays an oversized, distorted portrait featuring wide grins, neutral expressions, or closed eyes.
Spotting Bags Instantly
Footage captured at the airport shows these unique suitcases moving smoothly along the arrival conveyor belt. The giant printed faces stand out immediately against rows of ordinary luggage.
Because the images are so large and distinct, the owners can easily spot their belongings from a significant distance. They can identify their items before the bags even reach them.
