security tags
Store anti-theft devices
Security tags are devices attached to merchandise to prevent theft, typically triggering an alarm if removed improperly or carried past sensors at store exits.
The term covers various technologies—hard plastic tags requiring special detachment tools, adhesive strips deactivated at checkout, and ink tags that stain items if tampered with.
