Do I need merchandise security tags for an RF system?
Adhesive labels for an RF anti theft system are mostly square and made of paper, in white or with a barcode on the front. You can get these in many sizes, common ones are 3x3cm, 4x4cm, or 5x5cm.
Well-known manufacturers of RF systems are: Amersec, Checkpoint, Eastek, or Nedap
Do I need security tags for an AM system?
Adhesive labels for AM anti theft are mostly rectangular, made of plastic in white, black, or with a barcode. This type is better suited for securing larger entrances as these adhesive security tags are more easily recognized. Pharmacies and hardware stores especially prefer this anti theft.
Well-known manufacturers of AM systems are: Amersec, Dexilon, Eastek, Sensormatic
Warning: It makes no sense to purchase a reliable anti theft system and then use cheaply made adhesive security tags.
Sensormatic conservation
Eastek Systems is a licensed Sensormatic partner. With us, you get the full anti theft range from Sensormatic.
We provide personal consultation and install the anti theft system tailored to your store.
Hard tags or adhesive tags, or both?
While hard tags can only be attached to textiles, adhesive tags have a much wider range of applications. Sensormatic adhesive security tags are easy to apply and offer effective anti theft protection for your products.
Adhesive tags are a cost-effective, reliable form of anti theft in mini format. Our portfolio also offers special solutions for hard-to-secure items, such as adhesive tags for health and beauty products (HBC), microwaveable tags, or sewn-in tags.

Reduce shrinkage due to theft with intelligent concepts and an experienced partner without restricting customer experience? That's what Eastek Systems' merchandise security system does. Our merchandise security systems allow for generous aisles. Free your employees up to focus on selling, ensuring a high conversion rate at the end of the day. Learn more about this and many other videos on merchandise security on our YouTube channel.
General information on conservation - explanation of the technologies and concepts.
Planning for merchandise security is important. However, it's not necessary to conduct an on-site inspection. We strive to conserve resources in all areas. For example, many years ago we decided not to send employees across Germany by car to inspect an entrance on site, which you can easily send us via WhatsApp with a photo from your cell phone.
This is also one of the reasons why our merchandise security systems are more affordable, despite our superior quality and technology. Because conserving resources also saves you money.
We use article surveillance systems from Amersec, our long-standing partner in the Czech Republic. This makes us one of the few, perhaps now the only, companies that take a more "green" approach here. While our competitors ship their systems from Asia to Germany by plane or ship, we have much shorter routes.
What conservation do you get from us ?
In the field of anti theft, we serve all concepts and customer sizes with the highest quality. We support you in planning anti theft and assist you in preparing all necessary craftwork.
Did you know that the criminal police advisory office in Hamburg still offers free training for retailers on the topic of "anti theft and prevention"? Almost all other federal states have long discontinued this service for cost reasons. Eastek Systems supports this through product training and demonstrations.
Anti theft in grocery retail and at gas stations
Anti theft in grocery retail and at gas stations is becoming increasingly important. Meat, beverage cans, alcohol, theft is steadily increasing. Get detailed advice on the topics that concern you. Also, take a look at our videos on these topics.
Don't skimp in the wrong place
You have invested in reliable anti theft, but you keep finding your anti theft tags opened in the changing room. With MiTag from SuperSicherSicherung, you can put an end to this annoying issue.
MiTag offers reliable theft protection because this anti theft can only be opened with a special release device. Conventional magnets and openers fail here.
Innovative anti theft from Eastek
What types of anti theft are there and how do they work?
1. Radio Frequency Anti Theft (RF)
Advantages:
- often more cost-effective than AM systems
- many designs and colors
- very large selection of security tags
- commonly used for securing textiles
Disadvantages:
- range smaller than with AM anti theft
- rarely or poorly synchronizes with neighboring systems (coordinate with each other), which can lead to technical limitations, therefore not recommended for mall locations
- more sensitive to radio interference
With RF anti theft, you can choose from very simple anti theft systems that we send to you ready to plug in for self-installation or the professional anti theft systems, which our technicians install for you.
2. Acousto-Magnetic Anti Theft (AM)
Advantages:
- Typical retail entrances are about 2m wide with inward-opening doors; with AM (acousto-magnetic technology), the anti theft antennas can be placed behind the doors, covering a passage width of about 230cm and functioning perfectly there
- When installed by trained technicians and reputable providers, there are rarely any malfunctions and error-free operation for many years
- Many designs, plexiglass, aluminum, mounts for advertising media, etc.
- Wide selection of tags
Disadvantages:
- Larger range between the antennas also means greater detection inside the store, so more distance to secured merchandise (possibly use dummy tags)
How do I remove the theft protection from clothing?
There are different solutions here, with the most common being the magnetic remover. A magnetic force of about 10,000 Gauss is concentrated in the middle of the removal device to remove the anti theft devices like R50, Penciltag, etc. from clothing. To remove the anti theft Supertag 4 from Sensormatic, either automatic openers or handheld devices are required. Here, a mechanical lock is opened and simultaneously secured by a magnet; this is currently probably the best anti theft solution. Last but not least, there is our SuperSecureLock, the MiTag. This also works with a magnetic remover, which, however, acts simultaneously (multipolar) at different points.
How does theft protection work for clothing?
Both theft protection systems use a hard tag, which is attached to the garment with a smooth needle. For materials like Goretex, we use a loop or a multi-alarm to avoid damaging the breathable fabric.
Goods security in leasing – beware of traps!
You want to lease a security device to put your money to better use than tying it up in a security device. A good idea in principle!
Speak to your tax advisor beforehand, as the security depreciates over 12 years. If you choose to lease the item and expense the installment immediately, there are certain conditions for doing so.
A 36-month term is not legally compliant for leasing an article surveillance system if you want to take advantage of the tax benefit!
We expressly draw your attention to the general terms and conditions for leasing merchandise security:
The lessee can then deduct the lease payments as business expenses. Depreciation for merchandise security: 12 years = 144 months x 40% = 57.6 months minimum term if the tax advantage is to be taken advantage of.
Full amortization leasing for merchandise security
The lease must be concluded for a specific period of time and cannot be terminated during this period if both parties properly fulfill the contract (no right of termination). This is the so-called basic lease period. During this basic lease period, the lessee's lease payments must at least cover the acquisition/production costs and ancillary costs, including the lessor's financing costs.
According to these two leasing decrees, the decisive criterion for the tax allocation of the leased asset is the length of the basic lease period: If it is between 40% and 90% of the normal useful life of the leased asset, calculated according to depreciation, it is allocated to the lessor.
All goods have depreciation periods (AfA = depreciation for wear and tear). For merchandise security systems, the tax office specifies a useful life of 12 years, over which the depreciation must be calculated. When leasing merchandise security systems, 40-90% of this period must be met:
