Checkpoint Systems has launched a new anti-theft solution that protects fine garments without leaving a pin hole.
The new NeedleLok protects delicate fabric clothing, such as intimates as well as light and thin fabric garments, where a normal hard-tag and pin would leave a damaging hole in the merchandise after removal. As such it can be placed anywhere on the garment instead of having to use a seam.
As a single-piece tag with integrated needle, the NeedleLok is said to be easy to apply and remove, as well as enhancing overall safety by covering the needle when not in use.
The NeedleLok includes an AM or RF ferrite to trigger an EAS (electronic article surveillance) system and highly visible red ink vials provide a strong visual deterrent. It is available in three locking strengths (S3, Standard Lock or Super Lock).
“Unlike other retail anti-theft solutions that simply aren’t appropriate for fine garments, NeedleLok will gently spread fabric threads instead of piercing them, therefore avoiding leaving a visible hole after removal,” says Stuart Rosenthal, vice president of sales and marketing for Checkpoint’s Alpha High-Theft Solutions.
A Mini NeedleLok version is being planned by the end of the first quarter of 2018.
