Security Tags

Security tags are small devices attached to retail items to prevent theft. They work by triggering alarms at store exits if someone tries to leave with an unpurchased item. When the item is purchased, the cashier removes or deactivates the tag. These tags come in various forms, such as hard plastic or soft labels, and can also be designed to release ink or destroy the item if tampered with. Their primary purpose is to deter shoplifting, ensuring that retailers can protect their merchandise and maintain lower prices for consumers.
