This is going to be a security tag names and removal post!!
I’m getting a lot of questions about the different types of tags and how to get them off sooo I’m going to be telling you guys the names of all of these tags from left to right starting with the top row and how to get them off.
1) sensormatic tag: don’t know the exact tag name but ik that’s a sensormatic and that one requires a hook.
5) sensormatic pencil tag: hook
6 & 7) gator: magnet or rubber band/hair tie
9) some kind of sensormatic: magnet
10) these fucking suck and idk what they’re called but they require a lot of twisting and tugging and maybe a magnet? Not completely sure. You can probably cut the wire but idk if that’ll trigger an alarm. It depends
11-16) pencil tags: magnet
17) clam tag/dome tag: magnet
**an easy way to remember types of tags and removal is this:
•the more rectangular, thin, vertical ones are pencil tags
•the ones that are flat and rectangular with a small hole on the side and are curved are for hooks
•dome shaped tags and square shaped tags and tags with those bumps on them are for magnets. They’re magnetic and held together with a pin that the magnet pulls off
•those ugly yellow ones that have the little pyramids are gator tags and require bands of some sort and a magnet helps
•most ink tags (not pictured in this post but will say ink tag and be clear and have visible ink in them usually) require magnets but sometimes bands
The first few are weird mutant shapes and not quite pencil or dome but the brand is sensormatic and their tags always require a hook or magnet
I hope this helps at least someone!
