Combination of soft and hard: Lifangmei Technology teaches you to select the appropriate anti-theft labels for different products

2026-06-02 - Leave me a message

A store may sell various types of goods at the same time. Clothing is labeled with hard tags, while cleaning and care products are labeled with soft tags. This is a common practice. However, even within the same category of goods, there may be different options. Lifangmei Technology has compiled the following selection comparison form.


Lifangmei Technology


Product Type Recommended Label Reason
T-shirts, shirts, jackets Hard Tag (Pencil type) Can be clipped onto the collar, does not damage the fabric
Jeans Hard Tag (Pencil type) Can pass through the belt loop
Down jackets Hard Tag (Mini Bottle type) Compact size, does not affect loft
Bags Hard Tag (Mini Bottle type) Attached to the handle or zipper
Shoes Hard Tag (Pencil type) Pass through the lacing hole
Shampoo, body wash Soft Label Attached to the bottom of the bottle, does not obstruct the label
Milk powder, cooking oil Soft Label Attached to the side, easy to demagnetize
Red wine, foreign wines Soft Label or Bottle Clasp More secure with the bottle clasp
Cosmetics (in bottles) Soft Label Attached to the bottom of the bottle or the inner side of the packaging
Cosmetics (in boxes) Soft Label Attached to the sealing area
Health supplements, medicines Soft Label Attached to the side of the box

More hard tag details,please reach the sales department.

The same store can use both soft labels and hard labels simultaneously. For example:

Supermarket scenario:

Clothing section → Hard label

Shampoo and Body Wash Area → Soft Label

Alcohol section → Soft labels or wine bottle tags

Clothing store scene:

Ready-made clothing → Hard label

Accessories (scarves, hats) → Soft labels

Cosmetics store scene:

Bottled skin care products → Soft label

Gift box set → Hard label

Equipment Purchase List for Accessories

Type Companion Equipment
Soft Label Demagnetizer (D8600 or D8800)
Hard Tag EAS DETACHER(Golf or Magnetic type)


The cash register needs to have both the demagnetizer and the unlocker placed at the same time.

Cost considerations

Label type One-time usage cost Long-term cost trend
Soft label Lower (per label once) Linearly increases with sales volume
Hard tag Higher (initial purchase) Needs replenishment after wear, with slower growth

For stores with stable customer flow, the long-term cost of hard labels may be lower, but they require management for recycling. Soft labels are more convenient but each product needs to be labeled.

Product selection summary

Sell only clothing and bags → Purchase only hard labels + lock openers

Only sell hair care and food products → Only purchase soft labels + demagnetizers

Sell both clothing and daily necessities → Buy both, and the equipment should also be matched.
