SITA Bag Fast is a simple piece of software that does just one thing – it prints IATA-compliant fallback tags as and when they are needed.
It allows the continued use of the automated baggage handling system while eliminating the cost of storing pre-printed tags. SITA Bag Fast is CUTE-certified and has a simple and easy to learn user interface. It is compliant with IATA Recommended Practice 1740b.
Create fallback bag tags if an airline DCS is down
SITA Bag Fast produces any number of fallback tags, on demand, according to IATA RP 1740b. It helps airlines avoid the expense of preprinting fallback tags, instead printing them as and when they are required.

Print on any CUTE-compatible bag tag printer
