Looking For Security Stickers? Read This First

By Dale Trent


Theft is one of the greatest enemies of most store owners worldwide even though it entails just a small amount. After all a few pieces of stolen of items could mean a big sales loss in time. Apart from installing security cameras in your store, there are much affordable measures which you can take. One of these is the use of security stickers and related business labels. They come in different kinds that will suit your business needs and budget as well.

Obviously, these sticky tags are to be applied on product surfaces. Also identified as tamper-proof labels, these prints may be applied to all types of product containers - box, plastic, paper, aluminium or Styrofoam. They come in two general kinds. These are the "destructible vinyl" and the "indestructible vinyl".

As the word destructible suggests, the "destructible vinyl" tags are prone to distortion when they are forced to be removed. Since these tags are durable and sticky, they cannot be detached easily. These very features of security stickers give thieves a hard time taking the products they want out of the store. These print marketing tags work well with security cameras in spotting the thieves inside your store. They leave clear pieces of evidence that they have been tampered. You just have to match these with the people seen in the security camera. Anyone who has gotten near the product with tampered stickers could be your culprit.

Let us now go to the second kind of these tags - the "indestructible vinyl". This type works best for the protection of items which must not be opened or removed from their containers at all. Examples of these products are those for sanitary and personal use. Cosmetics, foods and medicines also qualify under this category. Once the seal of these products is broken, the health of the consumers buying them would be endangered. Indestructible vinyl security labels are attached on product surfaces with the use of sticky adhesives that will take a long time to be removed. Besides protecting the safety of shoppers, this kind of stickers also keep thieves from earning from the items they have stolen in your store. This is specifically true when they are trying to resell them.

Certain printing companies offer lamination of these tags to ensure that they are more durable and that they stick much longer and stronger. But of course, lamination is done upon request and with additional fees. You can also request for special tamper proof tags. These security tags have fine score marks which are cut on them so that they will tear when lifted. They can also be numbered in your preferred techniques if you need extra tracking efficiency. With this, you can recover merchandise that are already taken out of your store. The production of these tags may cost extra bucks in your budget. You do not have to be anxious about this because the security they provide can cover the extra expenses you had as no more items would be stolen from your store.
