STARtag Trace Frequently Asked Questions
What are tracking stickers, and how do they work?
Tracking stickers are ultra-thin location tracking devices that attach directly to parcels, packages or other assets. Once applied, they send location data to an app or dashboard, allowing you to monitor items through regular location updates as they move.
How thin is the Trace/Trace Plus tracker?
Both trackers are designed to stay lightweight and discreet.
STARtag Trace weighs just 4 g and measures 65 × 56 mm, with a thickness ranging from 0.4 to 1.2 mm.
STARtag Trace Plus weighs 8.6 g and measures 95 × 65 mm, with a thickness of 1.6 mm.
Full details are available in the specifications table above.
What's the difference between STARtag Trace and Trace Plus?
The key differences are outlined in the specifications table above, but the main distinction comes down to durability, operating conditions and intended use.
STARtag Trace is thinner and lighter, making it better suited to short-term tracking such as parcels in transit, short-haul shipments or temporary monitoring where discretion matters.
STARtag Trace Plus is slightly thicker but built to handle much harsher conditions. It operates across a wider temperature range and has a higher IP rating, which makes it more resistant to dust and water exposure. Trace Plus is the better option for long-term tracking, extended storage, bulk freight or environments where assets are exposed to the elements.
In simple terms, Trace is ideal for short-term tracking in transit, while Trace Plus is designed for long-term storage and tougher operating conditions.
Is the STARtag sticker GPS tracking device easy to spot?
No, the STARtag sticker GPS tracking device is not easy to spot. Thanks to the STARtag sticker being a paper-thin GPS tracker with a small footprint, it is easy to place discreetly on parcels or items without drawing attention. Its plain, unbranded appearance also helps it blend in with standard packaging, making it unassuming and unlikely to raise suspicion during transit or handling.
Does the tracker require charging?
No, the tracker does not require charging, as the built-in battery is designed to last for the full tracking period. If battery life is a key consideration, you can also explore STARtag Core, which offers up to three years of battery life, or STARtag Pulse, which provides up to five years of battery life for longer-term tracking needs.
