LGT Tags can be found on all types of products. Look for the checkmark logo and indicator that says tap here.

LGT Tags can be found on a variety of products. They may be sewn directly into garments (like the T-Shirt above), or they can be found on the back of paintings or art. The process for activating the LGT Tag experience is the same, no matter what form factor the LGT Tags come in.

Depending on the mobile device that you have, the process may be slightly different. Here are the instructions for activating LGT Tag experiences with some of the most popular mobile phones.

Once you've successfully scanned the LGT Tag you'll need to unlock your tag to get access to NFTs, exclusive content, and more. Learn how to unlock your tag here.
