Unique SmartPak® anti-theft solution for retail

Unique SmartPak® anti-theft solution for retail

The global packaging specialist Sealed Air and the leader in the field of source tagging Checkpoint have joined forces to develop the first integrated system for source tagging shrink bags designed to pack fresh food products.

These patent pending, RF EAS 2010 Food Safe tags are inserted automatically into Cryovac® vacuum shrink bags suitable for direct food contact. They allow a significant increase of theft detection at retail, since they make tampering impossible: the tag cannot be removed without destroying the entire pack. This unique development fills a clear request from large retail for a reliable and cost-effective source tagging solution that would be tamper-safe. This anti-theft solution is easily implemented at the food processor/packer, but also at the retailer, as it is fully compatible with the most common security gates in fresh food retail.

The integrated tag will start off an alarm at the cash register if the product is not paid for and the tag deactivated.
