React and Reactivate- Checkpoint Tags

Checkpoint Tags are hard plastic tags used in almost every major retailer as a way to stop shoplifting. The basic premise is simple. Apply the tags before the merchandise is displayed on the sales floor. At the point of sale, an employee removes the Checkpoint Tags with a Checkpoint Security System detacher. The tags are removed in two parts- the pin and the button. Each part is put into a bin to be recycled for use with the next shipment of merchandise.

Checkpoint Labels are also used to stop shoplifting, but in a different way. Where the tags are designed to be visible to shoppers and shoplifters, Checkpoint Labels are usually hidden form view. The labels are put in boxes, or inside of a pocket. Sometimes they are on the outside of a clamshell package. 

Checkpoint Labels are also deactivated at the point of sale, but they are not removed from the merchandise. The Checkpoint Security System deactivator pad deactivates the labels. As long as the label passes over the deactivator pad, the label will be deactivated.

Since the labels stay on the merchandise, they are not recycled onto new store merchandise like the tags are. New labels are put on those products, or the labels are reactivated if the merchandise is returned.
