Slightly Different Than The Others- Retail Anti Shoplifting Devices

It is important for retailers to understand the role Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tags play to prevent shoplifting. It is also important for retailers to understand that these tags are actually not retail anti theft devices like we normally think of them.

Alpha Shark Tags prevent a form of return fraud called wardrobing. They are meant to be left on after the point of purchase and the customer is instructed how to remove them at home. Only after a customer is sure that they want to keep the items should they remove the tags. They may be rejected for a return if the tag removed.

These tags do the exact opposite of an EAS tag. The Alpha Shark Tags are not imbedded with an alarm. There is no early warning system if the tag is tampered with. In fact, these tags are to be removed by someone other than a store employee, where as an EAS tag is specifically designed to be removed only by an employee.  Unlike EAS tags, which are meant to be tamper resistant, a customer can easily cut the wardrobing tags off with a pair of scissors.
