Does sealing protect me from COVID-19?

Why should I extra protect my baggage?

Just one thin layer of foil? That probably won’t offer much protection, does it? The opposite is true. There are several important reasons to let your baggage get sealed or wrapped.

Protection against bursting open

By applying a sealing, baggage without a lock (or baggage with a dysfunctional lock), will be hold together. Especially if you travel with a backpack, it is important to let the backpack get sealed to protect it against bursting open.

Protection from any virus

By sealing or wrapping your baggage, viruses do not stick directly on to your baggage and cracks and slits will be securely closed. Viruses and bacteria will not be able to enter your baggage. Read more about protection from bacteria and viruses.

The baggage will less likely get damaged

The transparent layer of foil will protect your baggage from scratches and dents, which may occur during traveling. It is also possible to get an extra layer of bubble foil underneath the shrink foil, so the suitcase or bag (or other piece of baggage) will be even better protected from damage. Loose parts, like belts or handles, can get stuck during transport. With a sealing, the baggage will become one piece without any loose ends.

Protection from smuggling drugs

Did you know a suitcase zipper is easy to open and close again? Simply by using a pen. Even if the suitcase is locked. There are many tricks for opening a locked suitcase. All tricks are easy to watch on youtube.com. Especially persons with bad intentions perfectly know how to open and close a suitcase without you noticing. With a sealing you will be better protected. When the sealing has been opened, this will be clearly visible. If the baggage was opened by customs, it will carry a special customs sticker. If not, go to customs to report someone messed with your baggage and you won’t be responsible for what one may find inside.

Less chance of theft

Like mentioned, there are many tricks for opening your baggage. But in a busy airport environment, a thief has to operate quickly. Baggage foreseen by a layer of foil is more difficult to open, other (easier to open) baggage will be a less complicated target. Of course, sealing baggage is no guarantee for preventing theft, but your baggage will be a less attractive target.

The baggage will be traceable

Every sealed piece of baggage comes with a free Seal & Trace sticker. With this sticker you will be able to register your baggage using an online portal. After registration, your baggage will be traceable. So, the thin layer of foil offers more protection than you think!

Do you sell backpack covers?

Backpack covers

Seal & Go sells backpack covers to extra protect your backpack during your flight. There are lots of benefits to the Seal & Go backpack cover. That is why this product has been extremely popular with backpackers for quite some time now. But do not be afraid that it is not available, we always have enough in stock!

No loose parts

One of the big advantages of the Seal & Go backpack cover is the fact that there are no more parts dangling outside of the backpack, such as the hip belt or the compression straps. Those parts can get stuck between the luggage conveyor belt, causing the backpack to tear. In addition, the backpack is protected against moisture and dirt.

Lockable

Another advantage is the fact that the cover can be closed using a loose lock. The Seal & Go backpack covers are equipped with an extra safety eyelet, so that the zipper will not be easy to break open. We therefore recommend that you always use this safety eyelet when attaching the lock. The backpack cover can also be used as a safe during your travel. If you do so, we recommend that you use a lock with a longer arch, so that you will be able to attach the cover to something (such as a padlock for a bicycle). This way, you can safely leave your backpack in your hotel room when you go out for a day trip.

Extra pair of shoes

In addition, there often is some space left in the backpack cover for some loose items. For example, you can take an extra pair of shoes that do not fit in the backpack itself.

Storage pouch

Our Seal & Go backpack covers are packed in a handy storage bag, making it easy to store the cover during your travel.

Seal & Go backpack covers are available in the colors orange, red, blue and black.

Size Backpack Cover: 85 x 40 x 24 cm | 81 litres

Do you sell child stroller travel covers?

Child stroller travel cover

 

Seal & Go sells special child stroller travel covers to protect your child stroller or baby car seat during your flight. Our stroller covers are very large, even a twin stroller will fit the cover!

Protected against damage

Many airlines allow you to take your child stroller to the gate. After arrival, most strollers will be placed loose on the conveyor belt together with all other odd-size baggage, which can damage the stroller. With our Seal & Go stroller travel cover your stroller will be protected against damage, moisture and dirt.

Taking extra baby stuff

Do you want to check in your stroller as checked baggage and do you have some kg left to check in? And do you have some space left in the stroller cover? You may be able to use the extra space for some loose items that no longer fit your suitcase.

Seal & Go stroller covers are lockable and therefore protected against theft and smuggling drugs. The cover is also provided with a handle and a storage pouch, making it easy to store during your travel.

Size child stroller covers: 100 x 60 x 40 cm | 240 litres
