Parents
Label a whole uniform, a bag and a bottle once. From then on, anything handed in at school finds its way back to you, and the class chat can go quiet.
Uniform that finds its way home.
A washable label with a code on every jumper, a free lost property station at school, and an app that tells you the moment something is handed in. Built by parents and a head teacher.
Nursery? See Teddy TagsFree for the school, from £50 a family.
Three things. One job: get it home.
Nothing to charge, nothing to track, nothing for the school to sort. The label does the identifying, the station does the telling, and the app does the collecting.
The label
A washable iron-in label with a unique code and a QR code, and nothing else. No name, no battery, no GPS. Hard tags on a strap or clip do the same job for bags and bottles.
The station
A smart lost property station in school. Anyone drops a found item in, it reads the label on its own, and the right family is told within a minute. The first one is free to the school.
The app
Pair labels in seconds, see where every item is, and get a notification and an email when something turns up. Collect with your PIN. Free, on iPhone and Android.
Made for the whole school run.
For parents
Schools
A lost property process you can explain to parents in one sentence: if it's labelled, it goes home. No sorting piles, no chasing, and a royalty on every label sold.
Nurseries
Teddy Tags is TagBack for the under-fives: the same labels with a teddy on them, chunky bag tags with no small parts, and a compact station for the cloakroom.
Lost uniform is a cost every family pays.
A school uniform runs to hundreds of pounds, and most of it goes missing at least once. TagBack means you buy it once.

Built so it can't be used to track a child.
We bring the standards we use for banks to every school and nursery, and we keep only what's needed to get an item home.
Nothing on the label
A random code and a QR code. No name, no school, nothing that identifies your child or your family.
No battery, no GPS
Labels have no power and no location. Only the school's station or the PIN-protected app can make sense of them.
Parents only
Children never have accounts. We never ask for a date of birth, a photo or contact details for a child.
UK hosted, UK GDPR
Encrypted and hosted in the UK or EU, with a data processing agreement and impact assessment ready for your school.

“We bought the same blazer twice. We watched staff give up their lunchtimes to sort a pile nobody could match to a child. Nobody was doing anything wrong. It just wasn't working.”The founders of TagBack: a parent who builds bank-grade technology, and a head teacher of a 1,700-pupil school. Our story
Year 3 parents
Has anyone seen a navy jumper? Name's washed out 🙈
PE bag missing again. Green drawstring, anyone?
Wrong coat came home tonight. Who's got ours?
Second blazer this term. Do they just vanish?
Right. Something needs to be done about this.
