Hama ensures theft-safe products thanks to our security labels

What are security labels?

Security labels are used worldwide by manufacturers and retailers to protect their products against theft. The construction of an RF label is quite simple: the electronic part of the label is aligned at the bottom and is usually applied directly to the product with a permanent adhesive. It is a self-adhesive label that contains a spiral coil and a capacitor. When an activated label approaches the detectors (gates at the exit of a store), the label reacts to an electromagnetic interaction with the detection gate. This interaction then triggers an alarm in the event of theft. If payment is made at the checkout, an employee will ensure that the label is disabled. This damages the capacitor and allows the customer to leave the store without an alarm going off.

However, do not confuse these labels with the RFID tags. These tags also collect information about the product throughout the entire cycle, from production to sale. They therefore ensure that the products are not only protected against theft, but that the goods on stock can also be efficiently monitored.

Using security labels has several advantages. They are easy to apply and can be used for different product groups. In addition, it is a visual deterrent against theft, so they offer excellent protection for your products!

Security labels in different shapes and sizes: the hard & soft tags

The hard tags contain an electronic security. They are attached to the product by means of a small lock. Hard tags are strong, fireproof and immovable, which ensures that your article is securely clamped. It cannot be removed by a shoplifter without causing damage to the product. For your staff, on the other hand, it is easy to remove by means of a detacher. A final advantage of this variant? They can be used over and over again, making this a one-off and sustainable investment!

Another variant of security labels are the soft tags. These are labels that are applied directly to the product or to the product packaging. They look like regular labels, but contain a kind of metal wire under the label that is loaded and thus gives a signal to the detection gate in the event of theft. The biggest advantage of the soft tags? These can be printed with a logo or barcode of your choice!
