One of the highest theft items at the stores I cover as a loss prevention agent is accessories. These items cover anything from men’s and women’s fragrances to jewelry and makeup. The reason these items are so appealing to shoplifters is the fact that they are so easily concealable. All a shoplifter needs to do is walk by a case of lip balms, for example, and casually pick one up and put it in their pocket/purse/shopping bag. In order to stop shoplifting of accessories one of the greatest resources we use are RF labels.

The “RF” in RF labels stands for Radio Frequency. They work similarly to other Checkpoint security tags by setting off an alarm when a shoplifter attempts to take an item with a RF label outside of the store. The remarkable aspect about Checkpoint labels, however, is the fact that they can be placed on almost any item large or small in your store in order to stop shoplifting.

RF security labels are small and discreet. They can be placed on the bottom of your product in order to not cause any interference to customer interactions. RF security tags are strong, too. The glue is secure and cannot be taken off easily and believe me I’ve seen plenty of people try!

If your store sells smaller items, such as makeup or fragrance, RF security labels are a must. In order to effectively stop shoplifting, you must be proactive in guarding the highest theft items.

Fragrances, watches and jewelry can be easily concealed in a purse or shopping bag.  As a matter of fact fragrance gift sets that are widely available during the holidays just walk right out the door sometimes without being concealed. 

 I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times… literally! 

 If you want to stop shoplifting you must be proactively protecting your inventory and checkpoint labels are a good place to start.  RF security labels are similar to the RF security tags or sensor tags placed on clothing items.  They act as a physical inventory tracking devices and can be great deterrents to help stop shoplifting.

 Most of the retailers I’ve worked for over the years use both overt and covert methods for tracking merchandise by using RF labels. You can place an RF label in plain sight on a merchandise tag or discreetly conceal it within a package.  You can even get creative and have RF labels customized with barcodes so they can be concealed in plain sight. 

When merchandise is purchased the RF security tags are deactivated during checkout.  If the merchandise is not purchased and someone attempts to leave the store with an activated RF label the checkpoint security tag will alert the staff that someone has just shoplifted and you can take action.

 Checkpoint labels are easy to apply and difficult to remove.  I’ve caught a large number of shoplifters trying to steal fragrance gift sets and watches over the years because the dishonest customers attempt to remove the RF security labels before they leave the store. 

 Attempting to remove RF labels will force shoplifters to reveal themselves and their true intentions.

There is a new wave of high tech security measures being implemented in the retail industry.  This wave utilizes RF technology.  Radio frequency radiates from a device or RF label and sends a signal to a receiver.  If an RF label is detected within a certain range, the RF label causes the receiver system to react.  After receiving a signal from RF labels, RF security tags or RF security labels the receiver will give off an audible alarm.  The new RF technology is the latest measures being employed to stop shoplifting.

 RF labels and RF security tags are two of the most used devices.  These devices can be attached externally using a variety of methods.  RF security labels can be integrated directly into the product.  These fully integrated labels are used on a variety of products.  Some products that have commonly used RF security labels have been work boots, clothing and medicine.  RF security labels can be adapted and integrated very easily to suit the retailer’s needs.

The problem with applying RF labels to health and beauty products has always been that there is not enough space on the box to place the RF label. You always end up covering the directions or ingredients. Now that is no longer an issue with Checkpoint labels new See-Thru HBC RF Label.

 With its clear polyurethane design, it allows you to place the RF security labels directly over the barcode. Using this design allows you to use Checkpoint security tags without covering up important parts of the box while still being able to scan said product.

 Another benefit with this particular RF label, is that it almost disappears on the product and does not draw attention to the fact that is has an RF label placed on it. Whether you are placing RF security tags on hair dyes or placing them on medicine containers, the sleek design and styling of these RF security labels are perfect.

 Also, from a technical standpoint, the design of the elongated style of the label increases the detection of the label when it is presented to a Checkpoint system. Most labels that are as thin as this label is will not pick up as well as a standard 410 (1-inch by 1-inch) square label.

RF security labels, the business owners secret weapon to stop shoplifting. I have always been a huge fan of RF label technology. I have apprehended many shoplifters in my day who foolishly attempted to remove checkpoint security tags or conceal product tagged with RF security labels. Checkpoint in particular has evolved this technology over the years to near perfection.

The Checkpoint labels, soft tags, have become so much more durable and stick to almost every product imaginable. Everything from books, to music, to movies to shoes to fragrances can utilize the RF label. In the beginning many years ago the RF security labels would not stick to product and sometimes fell off, that issue has since been remedied. RF labels are one of the most dependable checkpoint security tags companies use today.

Larger companies even employ source tagging which allows all specified product to be tagged with RF labels at the distribution center thus saving payroll hours at the store level. Instead of a store location spending time and effort to tag and then merchandise product as an added step of the shipment receiving process items are tagged with Checkpoint labels and audited at the distribution center thus allowing payroll to be utilized more effectively.  

Another positive point about the checkpoint labels is that it is by no means easily removed from tagged product without bringing attention to yourself on the sales floor. The last suspect I caught had been attempting to remove RF security tags from sneakers. The suspect was not only drawing attention he was visibly frustrated that the RF labels were not easily removed. He then proceeded to put the still tagged shoes in his bag and attempt to leave the store where he was met by me, my staff and the checkpoint pedestal alarm.  This goes a long way to stop shoplifting.

Also, many businesses will hide the soft tag while letting customers know clearly through store signage that the Checkpoint security tags are used and will result in an alarm if removed from the store without first being deactivated and or removed. When a shoplifter knows there is a checkpoint system using RF security tags that they may or may not see it gives them pause to steal since they do not know where the product is tagged. Clearly showing all customers that you employ and checkpoint system will bring you ever closer to your goal to stop shoplifting.

The highest shrink categories I experienced in larger store locations were fragrances and jewelry accessories. There was always a battle to lock all of these items up thus reducing the potential for sales. The RF label system allows businesses to maximize sales potential and merchandise the product in a way that it is pleasing to the customer. The key to ensuring your highest shrink categories are protected by the RF security tags is to make sure the store staff tags all specified product properly and that vulnerable product is audited for tagging compliance.
