Innovative New Security Tag – the Latest Weapon in the War on Retail Crime

Aug. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Retailers Advantage, Inc. has introduced an innovative new hard security tag that has never been seen by shoplifters. The a3tag is one of the most significant developments in EAS security hard tags in the past 30 years.

The a3tag is designed for use primarily on merchandise such as clothing, leather goods, or other accessories. It can be coupled with a metal a3tag pin to make a highly effective anti-theft deterrent, or used in combination with lanyards, ink tags, or other security devices to offer added protection. What's more, it is available in a variety and combination of frequencies making it compatible with most existing retail security systems. That means store owners don’t need to upgrade their systems in order to take advantage of this new technology.

The a3tag boasts the strongest minimum pulling-strength in the industry at 55 Kg making it harder to defeat than other tags on the market today. It’s dual-locking mechanism means it cannot be removed by existing security tag detachers, or with a magnet or hook, both well-known methods used by today's shoplifters. A special hand detacher - not readily available on the internet - is required to remove the pin from the a3tag. Detachers can only be purchased directly from Retailers Advantage, a tactic that is intended to prevent them falling into the hands of shoplifters or organized retail crime gangs.
