Why Use Security Tag Lanyards?

Guest User

use of lanyards on security tags is a cost-effective solution for retailers. By reducing the rate of shoplifting, retailers can protect their inventory without the need for more expensive security measures. The durability and reusability of lanyards and tags also contribute to their cost-effectiveness, as they can be used repeatedly on different items over time.

Which security pins match which security tags?

Steve Jacobs

There are many different styles and types of retail security tags. In this post we will be exclusively talking about hard security tags and the pins that connect to them. Soft tags, security labels, or stickers do not use pins and thus are not relevant to this discussion.

The locking mechanism inside the hard security tag determines the type of pin required. Most but not all magnetic locking security tags can accept a standard flat head pin. Some exceptions are listed below. Supertags and Gator tags both use mechanical detachers and are not able to accept a standard flat head pin. Supertags use Supertag specific pins as do Gator tags. Almost all tags, both mechanical and magnetic, can accept universal ink pins.

Why Do Security Tags Have Ink In Them?

But there’s an important reason security tags are filled with ink –– it can be a helpful measure for retailers and deter potential shoplifters.
