Liquor can be an attractive theft target because bottles are valuable, portable and can have resale value. Retailers also face a merchandising challenge: locking every bottle behind glass can make shopping harder. Bottle-specific EAS tags and locks provide another option for protecting merchandise while keeping products accessible.
Bottle tags
Bottle tags are designed to attach around the neck of a bottle and work with a compatible Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system. At checkout, staff remove the tag with the appropriate detacher and reuse it on another bottle.
Two common INEO styles are Cable Bottle Tags and Slimline Bottle Tags. Cable tags can fit a range of bottle-neck shapes, while Slimline designs provide a compact visual deterrent around the neck of the bottle.
RF 8.2MHz and AM 58kHz options
Bottle tags must match the frequency of the store's EAS system. For RF environments, see the Slimline Bottle Tag (RF 8.2MHz, White). For AM environments, see the Slimline Bottle Tag (AM 58kHz, White).
Do not assume a bottle tag or lock works on both frequencies unless its product specification explicitly says so. RF 8.2MHz and AM 58kHz are different EAS technologies.
Bottle locks and other bottle protection
Some retailers prefer bottle-cap locks or other protection that covers or secures the bottle closure. The best choice depends on bottle shape, value, desired customer access and EAS compatibility. Browse the full Wine and Spirits Bottle Protection collection for current options.
Build a liquor-store system
If the store also needs an entrance antenna, INEO offers complete EAS systems and retail starter packages. Browse complete EAS systems or the INEO Clarity Liquor Store Starter Package for an RF 8.2MHz starting configuration.
