There are primarily two EAS technologies that dominate the world market for retail theft prevention. Although originally available from just a few companies, both Swept Radio Frequency (commonly referred to as RF) and Acousto- Magnetic (commonly referred to as AM) are now manufactured by several companies located in North America, Europe and Asia, and distributed globally.

Although roughly equal in popularity, AM and RF are incompatible technologies. The tags from one will not activate the system of the other therefore, in order for source tagging to be effective, the tag installed at the source must match the technology in use at the destination store.

At Fantec , we make each of our source tagging solutions available in both of these popular EAS technology formats, and in the case of our Sew-in Solutions and Hard Tags , these are very easy for factories to tags on the garment in their production process.

Source Tagging Solutions are not limited to EAS field, now Fantec has extended it to RFID Hard Tag and Soft Labels. Which provide a specific identity for each garment in their system, and this RFID Source Tagging provide a cost effective solutions for all Retailers.
