Anti-Theft Tags

What is source tagging?

Source tagging is the process in which disposable Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) labels, hard tags or RFID tags are incorporated into merchandise at the manufacturing, packaging or third-party level.
Once implemented, source tagging can help increase product sales and profitability, enabling retailers to maximize open merchandising and product assortment.
It also enables manufacturers to protect their products and deliver floor-ready merchandise to their retail customers. With source tagging, products are protected without altering their appearance or damaging them in store.
All types of products can be protected, both textile and non-textile. Examples include perfume, cosmetics, home linens, decorative goods, shoes, apparel, beverages, electronics and multimedia.
Proven to be a valuable management tool, source tagging is an integral part of the retail process and delivers significant benefits across purchasing, loss prevention and store operations.
Programs are in place around the world and in virtually every retail sector.
