Lost School Bag? 😰
Never Let It Happen Again!

The School Bag Problem Every Parent Knows

You've been there: Your child comes home without their school bag. Maybe it was left at school, at the park, on the bus, or at a friend's house. Inside? Homework, expensive textbooks, lunch box, water bottle, and maybe even electronics.

Traditional methods don't work:

• ❌
  Name labels fade and wear off - After a few weeks of sun, rain, and washing, they're unreadable
• ❌
  Lost property boxes are chaos - Mountains of unclaimed bags. Hours searching. Most kids never check.
• ❌
  Writing your phone number is a privacy risk - You don't want strangers having your mobile number
• ❌
  School offices can't handle the volume - Teachers and admin staff don't have time to track down every lost bag

Real Lost School Bag Scenarios Where Cooe Saves the Day

Scenario 1: Left on the Bus

Sarah's son left his school bag on the afternoon bus. The bus driver found it at the end of his route, scanned the Cooe QR code, and Sarah got a text within 20 minutes. She picked up the bag from the bus depot the next morning - everything intact, including his $200 iPad.

Scenario 2: After-School Sports Mix-Up

Two identical black backpacks at soccer practice. Another parent accidentally took home the wrong bag. At bedtime, they noticed the Cooe QR code, scanned it, and contacted James's parents. The bags were swapped the next day at school drop-off.

Scenario 3: Left at the Park

Emma's daughter left her school bag at the local park after school. A kind neighbor found it two hours later, scanned the QR code while still at the park, and Emma was able to meet them there within 15 minutes to collect it.

Scenario 4: Lost Property at School

David's son's bag ended up in the school lost property box. A helpful teacher scanning bags during cleanup found the Cooe label, scanned it, and emailed David. He collected it from the school office the next morning instead of weeks of searching.

Common Questions About QR Code Labels for School Bags

Is it really free?

Yes! 100% free. No credit card required, no subscriptions, no premium features. Generate unlimited QR codes for all your kids' school bags.

Will the QR code label survive daily use?

Yes! Print on regular paper and laminate it (or use waterproof label paper from Officeworks). It survives rain, sun, spills, and rough handling. Parents report labels lasting entire school years.

What if my child changes schools?

Your QR code works forever. You can generate a new one if needed, but the same code works regardless of which school your child attends.

Can strangers see my phone number?

No! Your contact information is completely private. When someone scans the QR code, they fill out a form with THEIR contact details, and that gets sent to you. Your privacy is 100% protected.

What if the school already has a lost property system?

Cooe works alongside existing systems. Many schools actually recommend Cooe because it reduces their lost property workload. Teachers love it!

How quickly will I get notified?

Instantly! The moment someone scans your QR code and submits the form, you receive an email notification. You can also opt-in for SMS for even faster alerts.

What information should I include when setting up?

Just your email address (and optionally your mobile for SMS). That's it! You can add a custom message like "Reward for finding my bag!" if you want.
