Security Labels

EAS Security Labels - AM & RF for Retail Stores

Security labels from Leading Solutions provide a low-profile, cost-effective way to protect retail products from theft. Available in both AM (58 kHz) and RF (8.2 MHz) frequencies, these labels integrate seamlessly with standard EAS detection systems from Sensormatic, Checkpoint, and Shopguard. Ideal for supermarkets, pharmacies, electronics stores, health and beauty retailers, and general merchandise, our labels are designed to sit discreetly on flat or curved product packaging without affecting display or branding.

Choose from plain or barcode-printed styles, in a range of sizes suited to flat surfaces, curved packaging, or boxed items. These single-use labels are tamper-evident and designed to deactivate quickly at the checkout using compatible deactivation pads or scanners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are EAS security labels and how do they work?

EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) security labels are thin adhesive tags applied directly to retail product packaging. They contain a resonant circuit that triggers an alarm when passed through EAS detection gates at the store exit. At the point of sale, the label is deactivated using a compatible deactivation pad, allowing the product to pass through the gates without triggering an alarm.

What is the difference between AM and RF security labels?

AM (Acousto-Magnetic) labels operate at 58 kHz and are compatible with Sensormatic EAS gate systems, offering high detection rates and low false-alarm rates. RF (Radio Frequency) labels operate at 8.2 MHz and are compatible with Checkpoint and other RF gate systems. Leading Solutions stocks both types - confirm which frequency your store's EAS gates use before ordering.

What types of products are security labels suitable for?

Security labels are suitable for a wide range of retail products including packaged food and beverages, health and beauty products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, small electronics, DVDs and games, books, and general merchandise. They are particularly useful for items where a hard tag would be impractical or would damage the packaging.

Are security labels tamper-evident?

Yes, most security labels from Leading Solutions are tamper-evident - they are designed to deactivate or visually indicate tampering if someone attempts to remove them from the packaging. Some labels also feature void patterns that become visible if a label is peeled off and re-applied to another product.

Can security labels be applied at source (by the manufacturer or supplier)?

Yes, security labels can be applied by manufacturers or distributors at the point of production or distribution - a process known as source tagging. Source tagging reduces the labour required in-store and ensures every unit is protected from the point of manufacture. Contact Leading Solutions to discuss source tagging options and high-volume label supply.

Do you supply security labels in bulk for high-volume retail operations?

Yes, security labels are available in bulk quantities suitable for high-volume retail operations including supermarkets, pharmacy chains, and general merchandise retailers. Wholesale partner accounts offer preferential pricing on large orders. Contact the Leading Solutions team at 09-979-5479 or apply for a trade account online.
