Source Tagging

STREAMLINE YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN WITH RF-EAS SOURCE TAGGING

Checkpoint RF simplifies Source Tagging

Checkpoint’s RF labeling expertise makes it easy. Checkpoint offers a range of resources including proprietary RF-EAS/RFID technology and global sourcing, as well as convenient ordering, design services and experienced engineering support for high-speed application.

In retail stores around the world, radio frequency (RF) Source Tagging consistently reduces losses due to shoplifting and employee theft. Invisible and tamper-resistant, RF-EAS Source Tagging offers uncompromising protection that studies show can increase profitability an additional 25 percent over the shrink reduction savings created by RF-EAS alone. Source Tagging reduces labor costs associated with manual tagging by providing floor-ready, secure merchandise.

Source Tagging is a win-win for Retailers and Manufacturers

  • Better product placement
  • More aggressive merchandising
  • Open display for many items
  • Improved item availability for shoppers
  • More accurate POS inventory data to trigger reorders

Checkpoint’s RF-EAS technology is ideal for Source Tagging

Paper-thin RF-EAS tags can be embedded seamlessly virtually anywhere on any product, inside branded tags or in any type of packaging. They can be applied at production line speeds and can be overprinted with variable data. Many packaging partners are certified to apply Checkpoint RF-EAS labels.

Checkpoint’s Enhanced Performance (EP) labels are more environmentally friendly than traditional labels; they contain less aluminium, less paper and less plastic.
