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. The EP (Enhanced Performance) line of Checkpoint labels are hands down the best RF labels in the industry.

 Once again, Checkpoint has designed RF security tags that are specifically designed to increase aesthetics while also helping companies stop shoplifting from occurring in their store.

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.

The use of checkpoint labels is a proven method to stop shoplifting. 

 Why?

 Most theft is conducted by opportunists who looking for vulnerable merchandise.  To stop shoplifting and retailer must limit the number of opportunities a shoplifter has to steal something.

 Major retailers will use an RF label to track accessories like jewelry and watches or fragrances because they can be concealed easily.  Grocery stores will typically place RF security labels on expensive meats in a cooler or wine on display. 

 Checkpoint security tags are successful because they alert a staff member when someone attempts to leave the store with unprocessed merchandise.

 Checkpoint labels and RF labels are easy to use and cost effective.  During the course of merchandising your products all you need to do is place the RF labels or checkpoint security tags on each item you wish to track.

 RF labels can be attached to merchandise using a fast drying adhesive that make them difficult to remove.  When a customer purchases a piece of merchandise the RF label is deactivated at the checkout counter. 

 A company I once worked for placed RF security labels on all accessories merchandise.  One summer afternoon last year 6 teenagers skipped school and decided to do a little shoplifting in our store.  They selected close to $500 USD in silver pendant bracelets and attempted to leave the store by placing them on their body to give the impression they had been purchased. 

 When they walked through our sensors the store alarms were activated.  The teenagers were so scared they started removing the merchandise as quickly as possible.  They eventually “dumped” the merchandise at the entrance to the store and ran out of the mall.

 We never saw them back in the store after that incident.

Security labels have been used for decades to help stores stop shoplifting.  There are several different types that have been developed throughout the years.  The most reliable solutions available today are RF security labels and RF security tag s.  RF labels and RF security tags work on a Radio Frequency.  This is important as the Radio Frequency helps prevent the troublesome false alarms that other systems have.  Since the systems are tuned to a specific frequency it is less likely that a cell phone or car door key fob will set off a false alarm as they are not on the same frequency as the system.  This is a huge win for customer service and employee productivity.

 One of the top manufacturers of RF security labels and RF security tags is Checkpoint systems.  The Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags are well known within both the Loss Prevention community as well as the shoplifting community.  I would have to say the latter is probably more important because the recognition of Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags by the shoplifters is what will ultimately stop shoplifting.  Shoplifters do not want recognition in stores.  They are more likely to steal from a store without RF labels then they are one that does have them.  The shoplifters who will steal clothes with RF security tags will generally try to defeat the tag first.  Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags are very hard to defeat so it further deters theft from your store.  While it is possible to do business in today’s economy without using RF security labels, I really don’t recommend it.

There are three main categories of shoplifters; the Opportunist, the Amateur, and the Professional. The Opportunist can be quite problematic, as they never plan in advance on stealing. They are presented with an opportunity such as getting back incorrect change at the register, a cashier not ringing up all items, or clothes left in a fitting room. The situation will get the better of them, and they will cause a loss to your store.

 So how can you stop shoplifting when it seems that they only steal by chance? It is all in the preparation. By using Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags you can greatly decrease the opportunity to have your merchandise stolen.

 If a shirt is left in a fitting room and a customer goes in to try on some clothes, they may consider stealing that shirt since the employees don’t know its there. They will, however, look to see if there is an RF label or RF security tag. If one is present, they will leave the shirt and go about their business as they normally would.

 Same goes for smaller items like jewelry or wallets. If this customer notices no one paying attention as they shop this area, they are again presented with an opportunity to steal. As they consider slipping that wallet into their purse, They will look inside for signs of RF security labels or some sort of Checkpoint security tag.

 Using RF security labels and RF security tags is one of the easiest, cost effective deterrents to help stop shoplifting in your store. Once they are on your merchandise, they will stay on until removed at the point of sale. This visual presence will scare off the Opportunist shoplifter in your store.

Are you missing random quantities of merchandise? Perhaps items that aren’t normally on your high shrink list? If you are, then you are probably being hit by an amateur shoplifter.

 What is an amateur shoplifter?  They can be anyone who enters your store with the intent to steal. It can be a teenager on a dare, a grandmother on a fixed income, or even a mother with a small baby. The first shoplifter I ever caught, put over 200 dollars in clothing under her baby in a stroller.

 The use of Checkpoint Security tags or RF security tags probably would have been enough of a deterrent for her. As I watched her picking up clothes, she would check each one for an RF security tag. If the garment didn’t have the Checkpoint security tag , she put the item into her stroller. 

 Amateurs are not hardened criminals. The last thing they want is to be caught. Using RF labels on smaller items and RF security tags on clothing, bags, and shoes greatly reduces the losses to this particular type of thief. They do not want to run the risk of exposure. RF security labels and RF security tags  are near impossible to remove on their own, and these thieves know the alarm will sound if they try to leave with the merchandise. They know it its in their best interest to go to a different store and leave yours alone.

Have you ever wondered how Checkpoint Security Tags stop shoplifting? The answer is easy once you understand how Checkpoint labels work.

 There are two main components to the Checkpoint system. The towers, which are stationed at an entrance door, and the RF Security tags or  RF Security labels.

 The Towers flank the door and send out a signal, creating a sort of force field around your door. Any time RF security labels or RF security tags enter this field, an audible alarm is generated. This alerts your staff to the door to offer quality customer service to validate a false alarm, or ultimately to recognize a theft in progress.

 By just having the Checkpoint system at your door, many would be thieves will bypass your establishment, because you are not an easy target to hit. This element, in itself, helps stop shoplifting in your store.

 The Checkpoint Security tags will also stop shoplifting by providing another visual cue. These RF Security tags affixed to garments are only deactivated when removed by a store associate. If you can’t remove the tag, the garment is useless to a shoplifter.

 The final deterrent to stop shoplifting in your store, is the Checkpoint Label. These RF Labels are paper thin and can be applied to any sort of packaging, inside of wallets, or even in the pocket of a jacket.  This allows the legitimate customer to fully shop even the smallest item, and you are still protected. If an item with an RF Label that has not been deactivated goes out a door, the alarm will go off, and many times the shoplifter will leave the product and run away to prevent their apprehension.
