Labels
EAS Labels are thin RF labels designed to help protect merchandise and deter theft. These labels
come in many different shapes, sizes, prints, colors and can be customized to convey company or
corporate information.
Items on which sticker tags/labels are applied must be passed over the deactivation equipment at
the point of sale in order to neutralize and prevent the antenna at the exit being activated as the
customer leaves the store.
The rolls of labels are delivered in a ‘live’ condition. A live label will activate the antenna. All rolls
must be kept at room temperature, away from customers and deactivation equipment.
• Remove one label from the roll and place on product as desired. Ensure the label is smoothly
and completely adhered, and placed close to the barcode if possible.
• Different tagging procedures and placement may be required depending on the type of label
and product.
• Never cover important or legal information such as best before dates, safety instructions or
ingredients.
• Avoid tagging directly on top of metallic items or finishes. Doing so may interfere with the
detection, but can still be suitable as a visual deterrent.
• Each label is subjected to Checkpoint’s quality control measures. Sometimes tags are produced
that do not meet a high enough standard. These tags may appear within any roll and are
identified by a red spot.
• Please dispose of any ‘red ‐ spotted tags’ as these may not work your system. All faulty tags are
automatically replaced and added at the end of that roll.
