Display Merchandise Protection

Issue:

How can display merchandise be kept from being moved, tampered with, or taken from the store?

Solution:

Up until now, the only way that merchandise could be displayed and still have it be accessible to the customer was to use a system that used wires or cables that directly kept the products tied down. In many cases, this caused a lot of tangled wires and also presented a confusing display to the customer. Usually only one or two display items need to be secured in a specific area of the store. These items also need to be accessible by the staff to be able to move the products easily and quickly.

Because more and more of these needs became evident by vendors, Alpha developed an adjustable 2 Alarm cable lock with a built in sensor to aid retailers with this specific issue. Alpha took this adjustable cable lock a step further by placing a sensor tip on the end of the cable with a micro-tamper switch with an adhesive pad. This allows the display merchandise to be protected by the cable lock and also have the sensor tip anchor to the display fixture which then allows the customer to examine the product and get a feel for it without actually removing it from the store. If by any chance the customer attempts to remove the item or cut the cable lock, the sensor will set off the 95 decibel alarm.

Typically this Alpha Adjustable Cable Lock is available in 2 Alarm configurations. Another unique use for these cable locks is to utilize them by not directly anchoring it to the display platform. For example, a cordless drill with a battery can be protected by wrapping the cable lock around the handle of the drill while the sensor pad is attached to the battery. If the battery is tampered with, the sensor will alarm. These cable locks are also quite versatile in size and are available in 18 inch and 48 inch configurations. The adhesive pads and sensor tips are both replaceable and are available separately for purchase.

The main difference with the Alpha mini hard tag is that it is only available in the 3 alarm system configuration. The design is both sleek and is made to fit on high-end jeans, jackets, pants, suits, and other delicate items.

The Alpha Mini 3 alarm hard tag features a flashing LED light that serves as a deterrent to a shoplifter and that the device is armed. In the occasion that the device is tampered with, the 95 decibel alarm will sound and alert the staff in the store of a possible issue.

The dimensions of the mini hard tag enable it to be used in various items. The Alpha mini hard tag is approximately 2 ½ inches long, a little bit over an inch in width, and just a little bit over an inch in depth.

Security for High-End Clothing

Issue:

Shoplifters are tampering with hard tags that are placed on higher-end clothing such as suits, jackets, and other items. What can I do to stop this?

Solution:

A determined shoplifter will typically be inclined to try to remove your hard tags from your expensive merchandise while in the store. Usually this results in damage to the product. To avoid damage to this merchandise, simply apply an Alpha 2 or 3 hard tag to your inventory. This product is the same as a standard 1 alarm hard tag with the exception that it also has an anti-tampering system that is internally embedded in the product and contains a 95 decibel sounder.

An Alpha 2 or 3 hard tag is larger than a standard hard tag because of the added security that it contains. The sheer size of the Alpha hard tag serves as a visual deterrent to the would-be shoplifter as an added benefit as well. If a shoplifter attempts to pry the Alpha hard tag off a high-end item in the store, the sounder then alarms and attracts attention to the shoplifter. The 2 & 3 alarm functions give you a variety of protection and are also available in AM or RF formats to better suite your needs.

Low Cost Bottle Protection

Question:

Is there a cost effective way to protect liquor, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages?

Solution:

Alpha High Theft Solutions has just the right product for low cost liquor, wine, and spirit protection that goes beyond bottle cap protection. In some cases, Loss Prevention Systems have customers that utilize Crystal Guard and EASy Guard but may not need that particular product for every item they wish to protect. This is where the Steel Grip comes in. This product is designed to fit around the neck of a bottle and lock securely in place. Although Steel Grip does not provide product denial, the built in AM or RF tag is still effective in the protection of the merchandise in the store. The Steel Grip is designed to work in tandem with your Electronic Article Surveillance (E.A.S) system to ensure that the alarm sounds if an item is removed from the premises.

Loss Prevention Systems has found that the products offered by competitors typically use cheap materials that allow them to be tampered with easily. Steel Grip incorporates a strong metal strap encased in plastic for maximum protection in a small streamline profile. It also has no effect on your shelving heights since it is used around the neck of the bottle. Steel Grip comes with the word “alarm” printed on it, which helps provide a visual deterrent to shoplifters. It can also be removed easily by utilizing an Alpha S3 key with just one hand.

Amusingly, there are other uses for the Steel Grip. Laundry care products such as Febreze, Tide, and other similar products can also be protected. Auto Care products and other products that are sold in bottles that have a longer necked bottle can also be protected. Chances are that if a shoplifter attempts to remove the Steel Grip from this product, it will most likely shatter or damage the bottle before it can be removed. Steel Grip is a low cost product that will make an excellent addition to your bottle protection needs.

Protection for Pharmaceutical Bottles and Containers

Question:

How can pharmaceutical bottles be protected?

Solution:

The theft of both controlled and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and supplements has risen substantially over the years. The theft of expensive vitamins and minerals can be as costly as controlled pharmaceutical drugs. Because over the counter medicines and supplements are sold in easily accessible shelves, it in some cases gives shoplifters easy access to these small bottled products. Another issue is that thieves can simply empty the contents of the bottled drugs without removing the bottle from the store.

To counter this problem, Alpha High Theft Solutions has developed a product to address the issue. The Rx Cap was designed to provide unparalleled security for pharmaceuticals. The device fits tightly over the lid or top of the bottle. The durability and quality of this product alone will help prevent the loss of expensive pharmaceuticals that otherwise would be easily accessible to shoplifters.
