What is Source Tagging?

Source Tagging is the process of applying an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) or Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Label or Hard tag to a retail product’s packaging or the product itself at the point of manufacture or packaging.

Essentially, retail product vendors, consumer goods manufacturers, and product packaging companies are required to embed Acousto-Magnetic (AM), Radio-Frequency (RF) or RFID labels or hard tags into products or product packaging before the products are shipped to retailers. This allows retailers to eliminate the high cost and inefficiency associated with in-store tagging, and the process of moving the products out onto the sales floor is much quicker.

Whether a product must be tagged with an AM, RF or RFID Label or Hard Tag depends on what type of detection systems the retailer has installed in their stores. The adhesive labels are typically applied to hard goods, while the hard tags are used for apparel tagging.
