Tapla Tags with Print – the simple way to a digital cloakroom
A cloakroom is often one of the first places where an otherwise smooth guest experience can slow down. Paper tickets get lost, numbers are mixed up, queues grow, and staff spend valuable time solving avoidable problems. For arenas, nightclubs, concert venues, festivals and events, this can quickly become frustrating for both guests and employees – especially when large numbers of people are arriving or leaving at the same time.
Tapla Tags with Print are designed to eliminate exactly these challenges. The tags are used together with Tapla.io, a digital cloakroom management system where traditional paper tickets are replaced with a digital ticket on the guest's smartphone. The result is a faster, safer and far more professional cloakroom solution – without making the process more complicated for your guests.
No recurring subscription fees
Many digital systems require a monthly subscription that becomes an ongoing operating expense. Tapla works differently. When you purchase Tapla Tags with Print, they are registered to your Tapla.io account using a unique batch number. Once registered, you can use the cloakroom management system without any recurring subscription fees. This provides a predictable solution with low operating costs and makes it easy to digitise your cloakroom without committing to fixed monthly payments.
No more lost paper tickets or manual errors
Every venue knows the situation: a guest has lost their cloakroom ticket, cannot remember the number, or arrives with a crumpled paper ticket that is almost impossible to read. This creates uncertainty, takes up staff time and often leads to unnecessary discussions at the counter.
With Tapla, the ticket becomes digital. When a guest checks in a coat or bag, staff attach an NFC tag to the item. The guest scans the tag with their smartphone, enters their phone number and immediately receives their cloakroom ticket in their browser. No app needs to be downloaded and no account needs to be created. The process is quick, simple and easy to understand, even during busy arrivals or fully booked events.
Because the ticket is linked to the guest's phone number, it is also much easier to help if the ticket cannot be found later. Staff can search for the guest, retrieve the active ticket and resolve the situation without guessing, manually searching or relying on memory.

A smoother experience for guests and staff
A good cloakroom solution is about much more than storing coats. It is about creating an efficient flow. The faster guests can check in their belongings and continue their visit, the better their experience starts. Likewise, the easier collection is at the end of the evening, the fewer frustrations arise when everyone wants to leave at once.
Tapla streamlines the entire process from beginning to end. Guests receive a clear digital ticket showing the number, colour section and status. Staff gain access to a system that provides a complete overview of active tickets, collections and current activity. When guests collect their belongings, they simply show the ticket on their phone. Staff locate the item using the ticket number, the guest confirms collection, and the tag is automatically reset, ready for the next guest.
This means less confusion, fewer mistakes and a cloakroom that feels noticeably more modern. Guests enjoy a straightforward experience. Staff benefit from a clearer workflow. Venue managers gain a solution capable of handling high visitor volumes without slowing down.
Ideal for busy venues with changing staff
Many cloakrooms are operated by part-time employees, event staff or temporary workers who may not work in the cloakroom every week. This places high demands on the system. If the solution is too manual or requires extensive training, mistakes quickly occur.
Tapla.io has been built for real-world operations where staff need to get started quickly. The system includes an easy-to-access staff guide that helps employees with check-in, collection and common issues. This makes onboarding new staff much easier and ensures the cloakroom can operate reliably even when teams change from one event to the next.
Colour coding and sequential numbering also make it easy to divide the cloakroom into sections. Tapla Tags are available with blue, red, green and yellow hangers, allowing you to organise different areas, product types or pricing groups. This helps staff find the correct item faster while creating a more intuitive workflow.
Better overview, useful data and fewer forgotten items
With a traditional paper-based cloakroom, it is difficult to understand what is actually happening during operations. When are the busiest periods? How many tickets are active? Which items have not yet been collected? Where do bottlenecks occur?
Tapla.io provides a real-time digital overview of your cloakroom. You can monitor active tickets, track collection status and gain better control over forgotten belongings. Tickets that remain active for unusually long periods can be flagged as potentially forgotten, eliminating the need for staff to monitor this manually.
The system also provides historical data and statistics, helping you understand your cloakroom operations over time. These insights can improve staffing, planning and optimisation for larger events where even small improvements can significantly enhance efficiency and the guest experience.
No app and no recurring subscription after purchase
One of Tapla's biggest advantages is its simplicity. Guests do not need to install anything, and you do not need to build a complicated technical setup. When you purchase Tapla Tags with Print, each box includes a unique batch number. This batch number is registered in Tapla.io, linking the specific tags directly to your account.
Once the tags have been purchased and registered, you can use the digital cloakroom management system without any ongoing subscription fees. This makes Tapla Tags with Print an obvious choice for venues looking to digitise their cloakroom without committing to recurring monthly costs.

A small tag with a big impact on the guest experience
Tapla Tags with Print are a simple physical solution that enables a much smarter digital operation. You eliminate paper tickets, reduce the risk of errors and provide staff with better tools for handling busy periods. At the same time, guests enjoy a modern, frictionless experience that fits naturally with the way they already use their smartphones.
For venues looking for a faster, safer and more professional cloakroom solution, Tapla is the obvious choice. It requires no app, no ongoing subscription after purchase and solves some of the most common challenges in cloakroom management from day one.
