    Abstract: An elongated binder strip of tough stretchy material which is colored or patterned or imprinted with figures in a highly visible unique way for instant identification. It is bound tightly and adjustably around the luggage and secured by spaced mating hook and loop fastener strips attached to overlapping ends of the binder strip. One or more binder strips secure the luggage closed in case the latch should pop open in transit. A binder strip over each latch prevents tampering and latch opening.

The cover correspondingly adjusts to fit the container opening to allow for different shapes, sizes, and volumes of food or other matter stored therein.
