Security tags are often named for the product they were designed around, but some tag styles can protect more than one type of merchandise when the attachment method, EAS frequency and physical fit are appropriate.
A bottle tag can protect more than bottles
A cable-style bottle tag is designed around the neck of a bottle, but the cable attachment can also make the same basic form useful on some tools, sporting goods and accessories that provide a secure attachment point.
See the Cable Bottle Tag (RF 8.2MHz, Black) or browse the full Bottle Protection collection.
Clothing tags can protect other soft goods
Pin-attached hard tags are most commonly used on apparel, but they can also work on some fabric accessories, bags and other soft goods where the pin can be attached without damaging the merchandise. A lanyard or cable attachment can sometimes provide an alternative when piercing the item is undesirable.

Do not force a tag into the wrong application
Versatility does not mean every tag is appropriate for every product. Consider product damage, customer handling, tag fit, removal at checkout and detection performance before deploying a tag outside its most common use.
Frequency still has to match
Regardless of the merchandise, an EAS tag must match the installed system frequency. RF 8.2MHz tags are for RF 8.2MHz systems; AM 58kHz tags are for AM 58kHz systems unless a specific product explicitly states otherwise.
If the store uses INEO Clarity, select RF 8.2MHz merchandise protection. INEO custom-wrapped gates can be configured for either RF 8.2MHz or AM 58kHz.
