One of the biggest deterrents for shop owners over the years has been the fact that the pins used on Checkpoint security tags are serrated. That basically means they have tiny ridges that help keep the pin locked into place. It is a part of anti-shoplifting standards used by Checkpoint Systems for retail theft prevention.

The reason why it is an unfortunate deterrent for shop owners is that these serrations can snag delicate or stretchy fabrics. These owners have been willing to take the risk of shoplifters over the risk of damaging their fabrics either while attaching the pins, or during the deactivation process. It is a hard decision to make; choosing between retail theft prevention and maintaining quality of merchandise standards for their customers.

Well there is good news for these shop owners. Checkpoint security systems have made a better option to help all shop owners stop shoplifting in their stores.

Now Checkpoint security tags come with the option of serrated pins or smooth ones. These smooth pins are much less likely to snag those problematic fabrics. This makes for a far better solution for retail theft prevention in these stores using the Checkpoint Security System for their own anti shoplifting needs.

There are many parts of Checkpoint systems, each doing their own special part in Checkpoint Labels.

Most people are more familiar with their counter part – Checkpoint tags. Checkpoint tags are easily identified and are used in the majority of retailers who sell clothes. They are meant to be visible so people are aware of them.

Checkpoint labels, on the other hand, and not meant to be visible. They are a much more covert part of retail theft prevention. Checkpoint labels are most commonly found embedded in a price or manufacturer’s tag. They are an inexpensive way for retailer’s to protect their product because many vendors will put these embedded tags on at the point of distribution. This is called source tagging.

Other manufacturers are putting these Checkpoint labels actually inside of articles of clothing. There is a major shoe and clothing brand that puts these labels inside the lining of their shoes so thieves cannot find them to remove them.

Lastly you can order rolls of labels to put on merchandise at your own discretion based on your store’s anti-shoplifting needs.

Before you Checkpoint systems? It is almost like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg?

There really isn’t a good way to look at retail theft prevention. For many small business owners, installing Checkpoint systems might be more of a financial burden than what the payoff might be, that is until the shoplifting gets out of control. From a purely anti-shoplifting stance, it is better to be proactive than reactive. By having these systems already in place, you are being proactive in reducing and discouraging theft before it really begins to take hold.

If you are reactive to the situation, then by all means hurry and get your Checkpoint systems in place! Unfortunately, if you wait too long, you might be suffering an enormous amount of theft and consequent inventory loss. You are also letting your community know that your store is free game for theft. Word will spread quickly, and you will have to be extremely vigilant about shoplifting in your store well after you have the new security systems in place.

Having Checkpoint tags are still one of the most effective deterrents to stop shoplifting. This visual cue tells the potential thief that the merchandise is not an easy target. Checkpoint systems used for anti shoplifting will sound the alarm, alerting every one around of what is going on. No shoplifter ever wants to be noticed!

Retail theft prevention is often overcomplicated. Elaborate plans and programs are dreamt up and put into place only to fail time and time again. The plans could require more personnel that what payroll hours will allow.

These plans might require complicated validation procedures that impede or offend the real customer and miss the actual criminals. There is nothing worse than holding up a real customer in the front of a line to validate a price or a receipt. The customers end up walking away feeling violated and embarrassed. The other customers in line are often held up too.

No customer wants to be stuck in a checkout line for any length of time, especially because a manager has to be called over to validate something.

There is a reason why Checkpoint tags work so well for retail theft prevention after all of these years. Simply put- it is because they work to stop shoplifting.

I would like to focus on what I like to call the unsung hero – Checkpoint Labels.

Even though there are many components of Checkpoint systems, each doing their own special part to stop shoplifting, most people are more familiar with their counter part – Checkpoint tags.  Because Checkpoint tags are a visible deterrent to help stop shoplifting, people notice them whether they are trying to steal or not.

Checkpoint labels, on the other hand, are not meant to be visible. They are a much more covert part of Checkpoint systems components for retail theft prevention. Checkpoint labels are commonly found embedded in a price or manufacturer’s tag. They are an inexpensive way for retailer’s to protect their product because many vendors will put these embedded tags on at the point of distribution. This is called source tagging.

Other manufacturers are putting these labels actually inside of articles of clothing. There is a major shoe and clothing brand that puts these labels inside the lining of their shoes so thieves cannot find them to remove them.

Lastly you can order rolls of labels to put on merchandise at your own discretion based on your store’s needs. It’s not always about being in the front lines to be able to play your part in retail theft prevention.

There really isn’t a good way to look at Checkpoint systems might be more of a financial burden than what the payoff might be, that is until the shoplifting gets out of control.

From a retail theft prevention standpoint, it is better to be proactive than reactive. By proactively installing Checkpoint systems, you are reducing and discouraging theft before it really begins to take hold.

From a reactionary stance, yes, you will save money initially by not investing in the Checkpoint systems. Unfortunately, if you wait too long, you might be suffering an enormous amount of theft and consequent inventory loss. At that point you will have to take the additional financial hit of adding in the anti-shoplifting security to mitigate or stop shoplifting in your store.

You are also letting your community know that your store is free game for theft. Word will spread quickly, and you will have to be extremely vigilant about shoplifting in your store well after you have the new security systems in place.

Wouldn’t it be better to have your security installed at a time that you choose where you can ease the transition of the expense, rather than waiting until you are already under the gun to spend even more money?

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

There are two main components for effective anti shoplifting. The towers, which are stationed at an entrance door, and the Checkpoint tags.

The towers flank the door and send out a signal, creating a sort of force field around your door. An audible alarm is generated any time a tag enters this field. 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. This is what retail theft prevention is all about.

Checkpoint tags and the rest of the Checkpoint Security System offer a simple for of retail theft prevention. It gives the store’s employees a cue as to what is going on. No one needs to be a great detective or to be asked to engage in a risky confrontation.

The Checkpoint System goes off and the employee politely responds to the alarm. If a shoplifter sees an alarm going off, with an employee’s response, they can assume that the same will happen to them if they set the alarm off too.

Are you missing random quantities of merchandise? Ones that might not have any Checkpoint Security Tags? Perhaps items that aren’t normally on your high shrink list? If you are, then you are probably being hit by an amateur shoplifter and you may want to take another look at your retail theft prevention strategy.

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. Amateurs are not hardened criminals. The last thing they want is to be caught.

To stop shoplifting of clothing, bags, and shoes and to greatly reduce the losses incurred by this particular type of thief, use the Checkpoint System of anti shoplifting devices. The use of Checkpoint tags are usually enough of a deterrent for most amateur shoplifters; a Checkpoint Security System is a great tool for retail theft prevention.

Amateurs do not want to run the risk of exposure. Since anti shoplifting devices are nearly impossible to remove, and these thieves know the alarm will sound if they try to leave with the merchandise, it is in their best interest to go to a different store and leave yours alone.

As I watch amateur shoplifters picking up clothes, it is not uncommon that they check each piece of clothing for a Checkpoint tag. If the garment didn’t have a Checkpoint security tag attached, it would be stolen.

I always found it challenging when training anti shoplifting topics to discuss the events at our refund desk. While it is frustrating to see the refunds of stolen merchandise come into the store, it is not where the loss was occurring.

The losses actually come when the merchandise is stolen. In order to prevent this sort of refund fraud, you have to be able to stop shoplifting in your store.  It doesn’t matter how many times you turn away a refund, all you are doing is missing an opportunity to get an ID and potentially start a case.

In one of the stores that I worked in, we had a huge issue with people coming in and refunding stolen merchandise. How did we know it was stolen? Because the Checkpoint systems we installed would always go off when they walked into the store, not out of it. Had the items been previously purchased, the tags would have been deactivated when the items were sold.

Even though my management team wanted to focus on the refunds, I had to remind them that were not where they needed to be looking. After we started to actually stop shoplifting, we saw a decrease in the fraudulent refunds.
