Self service machine which prints out your tag to go on a bag and emails the tag number to the booking email used or is available on the App with booking reference.
In Volgograd in Russia (very small airport) they checked everybody luggage picked up V tag given when checked it in. Could be a random option for increased security on bag collection.
