Hard Tag Recirculation

Source Tagging is the process of applying and attaching an EAS hard tag onto an apparel or merchandise itself at the point of manufacture, then ship and deliver to the retail floor store directly for anti-shoplifting.

With hard tag recirculation, the hard tag itself requires tag removal at the retail POS and be packed and collected by shop assistance of the retailer to entrepot for hard tag supplier to pick up and ship back to the source of hard tag manufacture. Then back to the step of despatching the hard tag to the point of merchandise manufacturing for applying and tagging on, thus the hard tag recirculation.
