Overview
Round Gen 3 with ink deterrent.
Ink tags shift the economics of theft: even if the thief defeats the EAS, the merchandise is ruined. Gen 3 Ink Tags bring that deterrent to the round-format Gen 3 line. Color choice (blue/red) aligns with retailer brand or category coding. Shrouded variants add physical tamper resistance for harsher environments.
