Stylish Lost-and-Found Systems

Bontag Helps You Find Your Stuff Via a Tag-and-Label System

— April 5, 2018 — Tech
Bontag offers a new and clever lost-and-found system that gives consumers some peace of mind when devices or wearables are not in their possession. Utilizing an innovative tagging and labeling scheme, the process relies on a unique ID code that contains the message "If found, go to Bontag.com REWARD GIVEN." When an item is reported found, the system immediately calls, texts or e-mails the owner.

Each tag in the lost-and-found system is self-adhesive and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it can fit on pretty much anything — from computers and iPods to glass frames and watches. Bontag has done a great job in creating an aesthetically-friendly label design and consumers have the option to choose from over 500 pictures and patterns.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Tagging Technology - The use of advanced tagging and labeling schemes for lost-and-found systems to enable efficient and effective recovery.
2. Personalized Identification Codes - Creating unique identification codes for lost-and-found items that contain personalized messages and reward incentives for finders.
3. Aesthetic Label Design - Designing visually appealing labeling systems that can be customized by consumers for various devices and wearables.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Opportunities for electronics companies to integrate smart tagging systems into their products, to minimize loss of their devices and enhance customer satisfaction.
2. Travel and Hospitality - The use of personalized identification codes and reward incentives on luggage tags, room keys and other travel accessories to help travelers recover lost or misplaced items during their trips.
3. Retail - Opportunities for retailers to offer customizable and aesthetic labeling solutions for personal belongings, to enhance the customer experience and build brand loyalty.
