SourceTagging
Checkpoint offers a range of resources including proprietary RF‐EAS/RFID technology
and global sourcing, as well as convenient ordering, design services and experienced
engineering support for high‐speed application.
In retail stores around the world, radio frequency (RF) Source Tagging consistently
reduces losses due to shoplifting and employee theft. RF ‐EAS Source Tagging offers
uncompromising protection that studies show can increase profitability over the shrink
reduction savings of RF‐EAS alone.
Source Tagging reduces labor costs associated with manual tagging by providing floor ‐
ready, secure merchandise.
Source Tagging is a “win‐win” for retailers and manufacturers
• Better product placement
• More aggressive merchandising
• Open display of many items
• Improved item availability for shoppers
• More accurate POS inventory data to trigger reorders

Paper‐thin RF‐EAS tags can be embedded seamlessly and virtually anywhere on any
product, inside branded tags or on the outside of any packaging. They can be applie d at
production line speeds and can be overprinted with variable data. Many packaging
partners are certified to apply Checkpoint RF‐EAS labels. Checkpoint’s Enhanced
Performance (EP) labels are more enviro nmentally friendly than traditional labels; they
contain less aluminum, less paper and less plastic.
