ALL-TAG RELEASES RFID-INK TAG

ALL-TAG, a manufacturer of anti-theft security tags, security labels and other loss-prevention products, has announced the release of RFID-Ink, which combines RFID technology with an ink tag that releases a permanently staining fluid if forcibly removed. The product enables retailers to combine theft deterrence, RFID and electronic article surveillance (EAS) technologies into a single tag, the company reports.

Ink tags are referred to as benefit/denial products, because they deny shoplifters the benefit of the stolen merchandise. If a shoplifter attempts to forcibly disconnect an ink tag from its locking device, the tag's ink vials will break and the contents will spill out onto the garment, permanently defacing it. Statistics show that shoplifters are typically deterred from stealing when the target merchandise can neither be worn nor sold.
