Metal combination locks and TSA-approved styles make up the core of this range. Combination locks use a 3-dial wheel mechanism with no key to lose. TSA-approved locks include a secondary mechanism that allows US customs to open and re-lock the bag without cutting the lock, which matters for anyone flying through US airports. The flat face of most styles can be pad printed with a logo and company name. Metal-bodied styles can be engraved. Full colour digital print suits styles where detailed or multi-colour logos need to reproduce accurately. A travel accessories kit is also available, bundling a lock with other travel items in a single branded pack. Minimum orders start from 50 units depending on the style selected.
Most travel promotional items sit at the bottom of a bag and that's where they stay. A lock gets clipped to the bag every time the owner travels. At check-in, at the baggage carousel, in hotel lobbies, the logo on the lock face is in view all the way through every trip, not just at the initial point of handover.
Pad printing, engraving, or full colour digital print depending on the style. Production takes 10 business days from artwork approval.
Good to Know
Which buyer types order branded luggage locks?
Travel companies, airlines, and frequent flyer programmes are the most common buyers, handing them to clients or members where the item will be attached to a bag and used regularly. Travel agents include them in booking confirmation packs.
What is the difference between a TSA lock and a standard combination lock?
TSA locks carry a secondary mechanism that allows US customs officers to open and re-lock the bag without cutting the lock. A non-TSA combination lock offers no such access and can be cut if US customs needs to inspect the bag after check-in.
What branding method suits the lock face?
The flat face on most styles can be pad printed with a logo and company name in one or two colours, while metal-bodied styles can be engraved. Full colour digital print suits styles with a larger flat surface where multi-colour logos need to read accurately.
What is the minimum order?
Minimum orders vary by style, starting from 50 units for TSA and frequent flyer styles and 100 units for coded metal locks. Production takes 10 business days from artwork approval.
