The Unsung Heroes – Checkpoint Labels

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.
