possible theft attempt deterred.

What are Hard Tags?
• Hard tags come in different styles. They are made of high impact proof ABS
plastic and are secured to stock with either a pin or a lanyard made of steel.
Available in RF and AM Formats.
• Keepers come in different sizes and are available in RF or AM formats.
• Hard tags are re-useable and are removed from merchandise at the point of
sale using a magnetic detacher.
• 3 Alarm Technology
• Available in RF and AM format
• Protects your merchandise three ways:
• Early Detection – alarms when merchandise is tampered with in-store.
• EAS Protection – activates EAS alarm if breach occurs.
• Extended Range – self- alarms if merchandise is removed from store.
What is Source Tagging?
• Paper-thin RF-EAS tags can be embedded seamlessly virtually anywhere on
any product, inside branded tags or in any type of packaging.
• They can be applied at production line speeds and can be overprinted with
variable data. Many packaging partners are certified to apply Checkpoint RFEAS labels.
• Checkpoint’s Enhanced Performance (EP) labels are more environmentally
friendly than traditional labels; they contain less aluminum,
less paper and less plastic.
• Checkpoint have a dedicated Source Tagging
specialist who will deal with your suppliers
directly.

with EAS, along with some significant additional advantages.

• Protect virtually any type of merchandise
• Increase sales 75% to 100% by taking merchandise out of lock-up
• Reduce labor costs for in-store tagging
• Boost profit per square foot
• Reduce stock-outs
