• - Germs & Bacteria 
• - Theft
• - Tampering
• - Damage
• - Scuffs & Scratches
• - The risk of luggage opening whilst in transit 

Bag Wrap keeps your luggage clean and provides an effective barrier against all conditions. Seal your luggage with our hygienic, ultra-resistant film for maximum safety and confidence every time you travel.

Our protective film ensures that no one can gain access to your luggage without your knowledge, significantly reducing risk of anything being taken out of (or put into) your luggage.

Additional peace of mind is provided through our Onward Journey Liability Protection which is available on our Classic & Ultra Bag Wrap products.

Unfortunately we cannot wrap surfboards as the are too large for our machines.

Our machines are designed to wrap luggage sizes that would typically be accepted as ‘normal’ items of check-in luggage by airlines.

Where an items is not suitable for wrapping by our machine we can offer to hand wrap such reasonably sized items. Please be aware that items which cannot be wrapped by machine and can only be wrapped by hand due to their fragility are wrapped at the customers own risk.

Items which are wrapped at the customers own risk include (but are not limited to) fishing rods, snooker / pool cures, single golf clubs, rolls of wallpapers.

We will always do our best to accommodate hand wrap requests with bubble wrap but with the above disclaimer of risk.

Such items are typically not suitable for bag wrapping but if you provide minimum 5 working days notice we can arrange for the construction of crate for shipment by air cargo services.

PLEASE NOTE that crates/special packing must be booked and paid for minimum 5 days in advance as they are made to order.
