Best Practices for Merchants
- Strategic Tagging: Focus on high-risk items and areas near entrances or exits.
- Placement on Apparel:
- Place tags near the retail/barcode tag whenever possible. This ensures a consistent location that is easy for staff to remove at the point of sale while remaining difficult for guests to tamper with.
- Position tags in areas that are hard to reach or remove without noticing, such as inside necklines, side seams, waistbands, or under collars.
- Avoid placing tags on visible logos or delicate fabrics that could be damaged by the tag.
- Ensure tags are securely attached but do not interfere with the item’s appearance or fit.
- Staff Training: Educate anyone assisting with your space on proper tag application and removal procedures.
- Regular Checks: Verify tags are securely attached and functioning correctly.
- Incident Reporting: If a tag is removed incorrectly or triggers a dye release, notify management immediately. Logging incidents helps identify patterns and improve prevention strategies.
