What is a source tagging

A source tagging is the process of applying an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag or hard label directly within or on a product during the manufacturing or packaging process. This saves time and money because  retailers no longer need to place security tags (or labels) on products in stores. Products that arrive in stores can be sold directly and protected in the best possible way. Actility offers standard and tailored solutions for optimal performance in any situation. Retailers and manufacturers can rely on high quality, reliable and secure product protection with source labeling. Source labeling is an effective solution to combat theft.
