Cone Pin Checkpoint / Knogo

Replacement pin · Cone (fabric-trap)

Replacement cone pins (a.k.a. "cone tacks") for Checkpoint and Knogo hard tags. The cone shape traps a small piece of cloth between the pin and the tag — similar grip to a clam tag, makes the tag harder to pry off.

Overview

Grippier alternative to flat-head pins.

Cone pins slot into the same Checkpoint and Knogo hard tags the flat-head pin does — the difference is the tip. A cone catches a small piece of cloth as it clamps down, giving it a similar "can't-just-yank-it-off" feel to a clam tag. Worth spec'ing if you want more pull-resistance on pinned apparel.

Works with Mini Hard, Large Hard, UFO, and Super/Mini Satellite tags. Do not use with Sensormatic tags — those take different pin SKUs (SuperTag Pin, White Head Pin).

Best for

Where it fits

  • Apparel where extra pull-resistance matters
