Liquor Security Tags

Liquor Security Tags for Bottle & Spirits Protection

Liquor security tags are purpose-built EAS devices for protecting wine, spirits, and bottled beverages in retail environments. Designed to fit securely around bottle necks or caps without damaging labels or packaging, these tags provide a strong visual deterrent and electronic detection when carried through AM or RF EAS gates. They are widely used by New Zealand bottle stores, supermarkets, and liquor retailers.

Our range includes both AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz compatible liquor tags to suit whichever EAS system your store operates. All tags are reusable and removable at the point of sale using a standard detacher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are liquor security tags and how do they work?

Liquor security tags are specialist EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) devices designed to fit over bottle necks, caps, or bases to protect wine, spirits, and other bottled beverages from shoplifting. They contain an AM 58 kHz or RF 8.2 MHz security element that triggers an alarm at EAS pedestals if the bottle is taken through a store exit without the tag being removed at the till using an authorised detacher.

Will liquor security tags damage bottle labels or packaging?

No. Liquor security tags are specifically designed to grip bottle necks or caps without adhesive contact with the label. They are applied and removed without tools (beyond the detacher at point of sale), leaving no residue or damage on bottles. This is important for premium wine and spirit brands where label presentation affects perceived value.

Are liquor tags compatible with my existing EAS system?

Liquor tags are available in both AM 58 kHz (compatible with Sensormatic systems) and RF 8.2 MHz (compatible with Checkpoint systems). Ensure you select the frequency that matches your store's EAS gates. Leading Solutions stocks both formats, and our team can assist with compatibility questions at sales@leadingsolutions.co.nz.

How are liquor security tags removed at the point of sale?

Liquor tags are removed at the checkout using a standard magnetic detacher. The cashier places the tag against the detacher, which releases the locking mechanism, allowing the tag to be slipped off the bottle. Removed tags are reusable and should be stored for reapplication to new stock. Only verified retail stores are eligible to purchase detachers from Leading Solutions.

What sizes of liquor tags are available, and do they fit all bottle types?

Leading Solutions stocks liquor tags suited to standard 750 ml wine and spirit bottles as well as other common bottle neck diameters. If you stock non-standard bottle sizes - such as magnums, craft beer cans, or wide-necked spirits - contact our team to confirm the appropriate tag model. We can advise on the best fit to ensure secure attachment without bottle damage.

Does Leading Solutions offer bulk or trade pricing on liquor security tags?

Yes. Trade and wholesale pricing is available for registered partners including liquor retail chains, supermarkets, and loss prevention consultants in New Zealand.
