Labels or Tags? You Decide

Need help deciding which Checkpoint Labels you should use to help stop shoplifting? Here are a few things to think about from a Checkpoint security system certified technician’s point of view. The first decision you will need to make is whether you need reusable RF security tags or one time use RF security labels.

 Checkpoint security tags have greater detection from a further distance than an RF label. This does not mean that you must have RF security tags for your system to work properly. A Checkpoint system is configured and tuned to detect RF labels from antenna to antenna without losing detection. One of the primary reasons for having Checkpoint security tags is that they are a visual deterrent. When a customer is browsing the merchandise, whether it is a pair of jeans or a nice purse, they will see the tag and know that if they try to steal the item an alarm will sound. Having RF security tags alone will help to stop shoplifting. The other benefits of using these tags are that they are more durable than RF security labels and are reusable. 

 The downside of using Checkpoint security tags is the same as one of the benefits they are easy to see. While it will help to stop shoplifting, it could also not be as aesthetically pleasing as some companies would prefer. There are also some products that it is not logical or cost effective to use RF security tags on. These items would be better suited for a RF label.
