What is the SafeTag Protect and when do you need it?

Are you placing a SafeTag on a spot where your bike experiences a lot of friction, such as near your foot or lock? Then the sticker may get damaged more quickly. The SafeTag Protect was developed to solve this problem.

In this blog, we explain what the SafeTag Protect is, why it exists, and when you need it.

What is the SafeTag Protect?

The SafeTag Protect is a transparent protective layer that you apply over your SafeTag.

It is not a new sticker, but an extra layer on top of your existing SafeTag.
Its function is simple: protecting against scratches and wear.

Why was the SafeTag Protect launched?

SafeTags are often placed in visible areas. This helps deter theft, but some spots are more exposed than others.

For example:

• Where your foot brushes against the frame
• Near your bike lock
• Around moving parts of your bike

In these areas, a sticker can get damaged more quickly. This makes it less visible and less effective.

The SafeTag Protect ensures your SafeTag stays clean, visible, and effective for longer.

How does the SafeTag Protect work?

Using it is simple:

1. Apply your SafeTag to a clean and dry surface
2. Let the sticker fully adhere for at least 48 hours
3. Then apply the SafeTag Protect over the sticker

The protective layer absorbs scratches and friction, while the original SafeTag remains intact.

Important: the SafeTag Protect does not make your sticker harder to remove. It has one function: protection.

When do you need the SafeTag Protect?

Not everyone needs the SafeTag Protect.

You mainly use it when placing your SafeTag on a spot where:

• there is a lot of friction
• scratches are more likely to occur
• the sticker wears down faster

If you place your SafeTag on a low-contact area, the SafeTag Protect is usually not necessary.

What are the benefits?

• Protects against scratches and wear
• Keeps your SafeTag visible for longer
• Maintains its deterrent effect
• Easy to apply

Conclusion

The SafeTag Protect is a simple addition with one goal: protecting your SafeTag in areas where it is more exposed to wear.

If you place your SafeTag in a high-friction area, it is a smart choice. It helps your sticker stay visible and effective for longer.
