Advantages of EAS Security Tags for Stores

Today's retail environment is already challenging. Any loss of inventory - whether related to shoplifting, employee theft, mistakes or fraud - can negatively impact a retailer's bottom line. Anti-theft tags are a key asset in the fight against inventory loss and one of the most valuable tools in a retailer's anti-theft arsenal. It is critical that you choose the security tagging solution that best meets your needs and will serve you well for years to come.

The way an EAS system works is very simple. An EAS system has three main components: an electronic antenna, a detonator and an alarm tag. The antenna is usually placed at the entrance and exit of the store. Meanwhile, the electronic tags are attached to the merchandise and at checkout, the tags are quickly and easily deactivated by store employees using a detonator.

Now let's look at some of the benefits of EAS security tags.

Deter theft

Studies have shown that the presence of EAS security tags deters theft. Physical deterrence alone does not completely eliminate shoplifting; however, it plays an important role in efforts to reduce theft.

Display of merchandise

The open display of retail merchandise makes it easier for customers to access merchandise locked in display cases or located behind the counter. This helps them inspect the merchandise and get a tactile feel for them. Ultimately, open displays can help drive sales, and this does not result in inventory loss due to shoplifting.

Easy to install

EAS systems are designed for fast and intuitive installation. Installing, removing and deactivating tags is a very straightforward process that takes store employees only a few seconds. In contrast, EAS security tags are designed to make it extremely difficult for shoplifters to remove or deactivate the tags.

Increase sales

These systems are durable, reliable and long-lasting. Rigid labels are reusable and have minimal maintenance costs, with the only ongoing costs being those associated with the purchase of self-adhesive labels. In addition, EAS security tags provide unparalleled theft protection at all levels of the retail supply chain.
