Sensormatic Safers are nothing new. Safers have been around for a long time. But, they have evolved! Basically you use a safer to protect goods that are not easily protected by alarming wraps, hard tags or a label. Sometimes very small merchandise items work well in a safer. High value items are another prospect for a safer.
So what is a Safer? In the traditional form a safer is a strong plastic box with a special locking device. It allows you to place merchandise items in it and still display them. Your customer can pick them up and take them up to the cashier who unlocks the box and rings up the merchandise. The safer is reused over and over. Safers can sit on a shelf or be hung from a peg hook. Safers come in hundreds of sizes. If a shoplifter attempts to steal merchandise inside a Flexible Safer, then the Sensormatic system at the customer doors goes into alarm.
Sensormatic has a new twist on the traditional safer with the Flexible Safer. This item has a secure, locking zipper type closure and is constructed out of heavy duty materials. It could not be torn open with your hands. It would require a tool of some sort to defeat. The Sensormatic Flexible Safer is not for every piece of merchandise. In many cases there are much better ways to secure products.
However, the Flexible Safer can help solve certain problems with merchandise that cannot take a hard tag or label and must be displayed regardless. It gives us another tool to discourage shoplifting. I do not see this product being used on a wide scale basis but I do see it used for a specific, problem merchandise item.
Flexible Safers come in three sizes. Small is ideal for SD Cards, Razor Blades, Cosmetics, Ear Buds, Batteries, Boxed Apparel and more. Height 208mm (8.19in) Width 200mm (7.87in).
Medium is best with Printer Ink Cartridges, Cosmetic Moisturizer, Baby Formula, Perfumes and similar sized items. Height 260mm (10.24in) Width 250mm (9.84in).
And lastly the large is perfect for HDMI Cables, Stereo Headphones, Game Controllers and Health & Beauty merchandise. Height 338mm (13.3in) Width 325mm (13.85in).
All Safers including the Flexible Safer are clear. Flexible Safers are available in both AM and RF technologies allowing you to open merchandise with confidence. They are very thin and will take up less room on your displays than a traditional safer.
Flexible Safers are constructed from three clear, strong and lightweight plastics laminated together to form a strong, yet flexible, composite product. It is extremely easy to use and available in various magnetic strengths to work with the full line of Sensormatic magnetic detachers. They are reusable and will hold up in a busy retail environment.
The design is actually very pleasant to look at. In addition to being clear it has green and grey trim. I could easily see them on an endcap with higher dollar merchandise such as batteries or razor blades that a customer wants to compare without having to touch the merchandise. The customer can still pick them up, compare and select the item right for themselves without having staff nearby to help or unlock them.
Again, this is not a solve all for every piece of merchandise you carry. Like with any Sensormatic hard tag or label you need to have small quantities of several sizes to fit your needs.
