🎬 🍿 Watch our Product Feature tour to learn more


Odyssey's luggage labels. The left hand end provides two small tear off labels suitable for labelling your client's helmet, bike, or other equipment.

Odyssey customers who use the luggage Advanced functionality are able to print quality labels for their clients who are taking multi day trips.

The labels are very similar to those used by airlines, as the format is a long length where the ends attach to each other around a luggage handle.  The label includes two small peel off labels which can be used for a helmet, bike, or kayak.

The label includes all of the Clients details as well as a unique barcode for your Driver to scan at the point of pick-up and drop-off.
