Ti servirà la tua etichetta del bagagli.
‘Bagagli’ is plural; the phrase refers to a single tag for one piece of luggage, so use the singular ‘bagaglio’.
Servirà la tua etichetta del bagaglio.
Missing the indirect object pronoun ‘ti’; without it the sentence sounds like ‘the tag will be needed’ rather than ‘you will need the tag’.
Ti servirà il tua etichetta del bagaglio.
Possessive adjectives must agree in gender; ‘tua’ is feminine, so the article is omitted, not ‘il’.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, luggage tags are often printed at self‑service kiosks or at the airline counter and attached to the handle of the suitcase. Keeping the tag visible helps staff locate your bag quickly, especially at busy airports like Rome Fiumicino or Milan Malpensa. Some regional airports still issue paper tags, so it’s handy to have a pen ready.
