RFID Retail Tags for Anti-Theft & Garment Hang Tags
RFID retail tags help apparel and general merchandise retailers combine loss prevention with real-time inventory visibility. We supply three main formats:
EAS + UHF Anti-Theft Hard Tags: combine electronic article surveillance deterrence with UHF RFID for simultaneous theft prevention and stock counting on the sales floor.
RFID Clothing Care Tags: attach durable, encodable RFID data to garments alongside care and washing instructions, useful for garment-level inventory and supply chain tracking.
Custom Printed RFID Hang Tags: add RFID functionality to a standard printed retail hang tag, so brands can keep their existing hang tag design while adding chip-level tracking.
All retail tags can be chip-matched to your existing RFID reader or point-of-sale system. Contact us for MOQ, chip options and lead time.
