You will find various types of theft prevention devices for the fashion industry.  The security systems in clothing stores are often set up like a radar.  Mechanisms are placed in the doorway of a store so that when a tag gets between the antennas, there's a signal of noise.

EAS Tags: EAS security tags are one of the most effective tag type to combat theft. The EAS system sees tags in communication with an antenna housed near the entrance to a store.  Clothing tags comprise three key elements; the tag (houses the receiver in the case of EAS), the pin (goes through the garment to hold it on) and the locking mechanism (secures the pin in place).

Ink Dye Tags: Benefit denial tags see the stolen merchandise negatively impacted when the thief tries to remove the tag. The most common form is ink dye tags which release indelible ink when the tag is tampered with, effectively rendering the stolen item useless.

Other types of security tags exist.

You may also want to investigate the use of woven security labels to put on your clothing or fashion accessories.

Shoplifting is a concern for business owners throughout the year. Stores need to protect themselves from internal (employee) and external (robbery) shoplifting. There are many different types of retail security systems for various types of stores and selecting the correct system and clothing tags will prevent false alarms and ensure that the store is secure throughout the workday.
