Retail Security Tags Overview
Retail security tags are crucial for theft prevention and inventory control. They utilize electronic article surveillance (EAS) technologies such as Acousto-Magnetic (AM), Radio Frequency (RF), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to detect tagged items at exits, setting off alarms if necessary.
Types of Security Tags
- Hard Tags: Used on clothing, these are removable at checkout with special tools.
- Sticker Tags: Ideal for smaller items, these are deactivated at purchase.
- Specialty Tags: Customized for challenging items like liquor or eyewear, enhancing security for high-value goods.
Choosing the Right Security Tags for Apparel
Selection is based on the apparel type, ensuring compatibility with your EAS system and balancing security needs with visual appeal. Consider the following:
- T-shirts and Jeans: Opt for slim, pencil-style tags.
- Outerwear: Use sturdy tags for heavier garments.
- Formal Wear: Attach tags via lanyards to avoid damage.
- Undergarments and Swimwear: Choose hypoallergenic tags that avoid skin contact.
When selecting tags, assess the locking mechanism, aesthetics, and durability to ensure effective theft protection without compromising the shopping experience.
