SATO offers an innovative family of tag and label solutions to better arm retailers’ efforts to thwart an increasing number of counterfeiting and fraud incidents. This product line is positioned to maintain on edge over retail criminals. These solutions are one of the first steps that retailers can take when combating the overwhelming problem of shrink.
Fraudulent merchandise returns cost U.S. retailers more than $2 billion annually, according to the National Retail Federation. This is just the tip of the iceberg as there are switched labels and tags, fake bar code labels, and counterfeit tags and labels. This leads to not only losses from the theft of the item but a lost opportunity from a potential sale from a new or existing customer. SATO specialists can help you choose the best form and level of protection for your business.
SecureRingsTM were developed to help combat label switching and to minimize adhesive damage. SATO’s unique tamper evident label designs now offer combined security with various adhesive combinations. Retailers can immediately tell if the shopper has attempted to remove the label. If a store employee lawfully removes the label or a consumer removes the label at home after purchase, the new adhesive solution affixed to the back of the tag will not harm the packaging or product. |

The Anti-Diversion Solutions help retailers guard against diverted inventory, employee theft, professional shoplifting/ swiping groups, and return fraud. Since SATO’s selection of Anti-Diversion security labels are virtually removal-proof due to a combination of ultra indestructible label material and aggressive adhesives, they cannot be removed helping to deter merchandise diversion. Products with SATO’s Anti-Diversion labels allow for loss prevention associates to easily identify products being sold on the black market that were meant for sale at a store location. |

SATO’s covert authentication solutions include MarkSecuredTM which uses a special ink to prevent counterfeit ticketing and labeling, including price editing. The covert tickets ensure the authenticity of a store’s ticket by utilizing special ink only detectable with Florescent UV Light.

SATO’s overt authentication solutions include bar-coded Point Of Purchase (POP) labels to prevent counterfeit ticketing and labeling, including price editing. The overt POP labels allow retailers to identify purchased products without the need to see a receipt. |

Standard tags and fact tags can easily become separated from merchandise during handling. SATO’s DuraTagTM uses custom material to resist tearing and eliminates the need for special plastic pouches and ties to attach the label to the merchandise. The DuraTag also reduces the labor and other costs associated with reprinting or reapplying tags and standardizing merchandise presentations. These unique tags can prevent ticket-swiping schemes used by criminals by making it extremely difficult to take tags off merchandise without purchasing the item.
