WG Clear Ink Tag
WG · benefit denial · standalone or EAS-pairable · transparent body
Compact benefit-denial tag in a transparent body — the colored ink vials are visible through the housing, doing visual deterrent work before the pin even goes in. The patented Breakage Indicator Panel on top ensures ink disperses in every direction on tamper and gives staff an immediate visual cue if a tag was attacked. Works standalone with a simple clutch, or pairs with any EAS hard tag for a combined alarm + ink layer.

Overview
Transparent benefit-denial tag with patented breakage panel.
Most ink tags hide their cartridges inside an opaque shell — the would-be thief only finds out the tag was inked after pulling on it. Clear Ink takes the opposite approach: the ink vials are visible through a transparent body, so the deterrent reads at the rack. The patented Breakage Indicator Panel on the top face accomplishes two things — it ensures the ink sprays in every direction if the tag is forced (rather than puddling in one spot), and it gives store staff a visible signal that a tag was attacked even if the thief escaped with the merchandise. Standalone with a clutch for non-EAS environments, or paired with any EAS hard tag for layered protection.

Compatibility
Pure benefit-denial layer — does not trigger any EAS antenna on its own. For alarming protection, pair with an EAS hard tag (any WG tag, or any 58 kHz AM or 8.2 MHz RF tag from another manufacturer). For non-EAS environments, the included clutch is sufficient to lock the tag onto merchandise.
