Security Tags for Clothing Stores

Apparel is the merchandise shoplifters go for first. It is easy to conceal, easy to resell, and a rack near the door can be cleared in seconds. The answer is a hard tag on every garment and a detection system at the door, and clothing is exactly what EAS was invented for.

Start With the Technology

If you are buying a new system for a clothing store, we typically recommend AM (58 kHz) for apparel and mixed merchandise. If you already have pedestals, your tags must match what the pedestals run, Sensormatic compatible systems are AM and Checkpoint compatible systems are RF. Not sure which you have? Here is how to tell in under a minute, or send us a photo and we will identify it free.

The Tags We Recommend for Apparel

• Pencil and stylus tags are the everyday workhorse, pinned through a seam or cuff. See the Flat Pencil Tag (AM, pins included) and the Stylus Tag Mini with lanyard.
• Alarming tags add a built in siren for high theft racks, like our 2 Alarm AM tags with lanyard.
• SuperTags are the classic for AM stores, refurbished genuine Sensormatic, depot tested by our technicians. Start with the SuperTag II.
• Ink tags add benefit denial, if the tag is tampered with, the ink ruins the garment and the theft is pointless. See the complete ink tag and backer, they also work standalone in stores without pedestals.
• Specialty apparel tags cover the rest of the store, the lingerie tag for delicate garments and the Alpha Mag tag with lanyard for handbags and sneakers.

Stop Wardrobing Too

Clothing stores lose money twice, once to theft and once to buyers who wear an outfit and return it. A disposable anti wardrobing tag placed where it cannot be hidden while wearing the garment protects your return policy without touching your EAS system.

The Complete Clothing Store Setup

Tags alone do nothing without detection at the door. Our High Detection Clothing Security Tag Package (AM, installation included) bundles pedestals, tags and a detacher for the counter in one order. Wider entrance? Check how many pedestals your door width needs.

Every system we sell can include professional installation by RSG certified technicians anywhere in the continental US, and systems we install carry a one year warranty. Read about nationwide EAS installation or weigh the options on self install versus professional.
