Retailers are facing the problem of how to minimize expenses and increase revenue as much as possible. In order to increase revenue and profits, retailers need to open shelves for sales, create a good shopping environment for customers, but also reduce product theft. This objectively creates a demand for supermarket anti-theft systems.

This is the source tagging program implemented by major supermarkets.
Anti-theft Source Label Program (UPP for short), Universal Product Protection refers to the collaboration between retailers and product manufacturers, in which manufacturers add electronic anti-theft labels during the production and packaging process of goods, changing the previous practice of attaching anti-theft labels when they are placed on shelves in shopping malls. In this way, anti-theft labels can be placed more discreetly, less likely to be detected and damaged, thereby reducing product losses; Moreover, products that were originally unsuitable for open sale can be opened for sale immediately after being protected by anti-theft labels, which increases customer purchasing desire and promotes a significant increase in sales, benefiting both retailers and manufacturers.
Benefits obtained by retailers

8.2MHZ RF anti-theft label
How do export factories and supermarket suppliers choose anti-theft labels?
There are many types of anti-theft systems in supermarkets, but the vast majority are RF 8.2MHz label systems or AM 58KHz label systems. In fact, factories and supermarket suppliers do not need to pay attention to so many types of anti-theft systems, as long as you ask the frequency of anti-theft labels in supermarkets. The appearance of the label is not crucial, what matters is the frequency of the label.
Labels for the same system are universal, while labels for different systems are not. But there is a special case, which is composite labeling. Some supermarket suppliers require each product to be labeled with an RF 8.2MHz label and an AM 58KHz label in order to reduce inventory, so that their products can enter two different anti-theft label systems at the same time, thereby reducing inventory requirements and lowering their costs. Adding an extra label won’t cost much, while doubling the inventory will double the cost. Nowadays, supermarket suppliers are also super smart. This is a bit similar to the current development process of mobile phones. At the beginning, there were two standards for mobile phones: GSM and CDMA, and the two SIM cards were not compatible with each other. However, nowadays, mobile phones can make calls by inserting any two SIM cards. Nowadays, mobile phones combine these two communication characteristics.
Placement of labels
Anti theft labels should be placed inside the product packaging or on the surface of the product as much as possible; Anti theft labels should be kept as far away from electromagnetic fields as possible, and should be held at a distance of no less than 3cm from the metal part of the item. Anti-theft labels should not be bent or damaged. The long-term pressure on the label should be less than 15 pounds.
Nowadays, many products need to be labeled with anti-theft labels before export. Once the products arrive at the supermarket, they can be put on sale. This is the source tagging program promoted by various supermarkets/chain stores. We believe that your company will also use anti-theft labels. We are a supplier of anti-theft labels.
