WG Microwavable TR Label
WG · AM 58 kHz label · microwave-safe construction
TR Label engineered for products that may go in a microwave with the label still attached — frozen meals, ready-to-eat foods, microwavable cookware, pharmacy items in microwave-safe packaging. Standard EAS labels can arc, spark, or release small amounts of smoke when microwaved; the Microwavable TR variant is built to remain inert. Same 58 kHz AM detection performance as the Plain TR.

Overview
Microwave-safe TR label for frozen meals and food packaging.
Grocery and pharmacy retail sells a lot of microwave-safe merchandise: frozen entrees, ready-to-eat soups, baby food, OTC heating pads. If a customer microwaves a product with an EAS label still attached, the standard label can spark or release smoke — both a customer-safety issue and a brand problem. Microwavable TR is engineered to be inert under microwave power, eliminating that failure mode without sacrificing AM detection performance. Same 58 kHz core, same deactivation procedure, same applications as Plain TR — just safe to leave on under heat.
Features
- Thin adhesive label design — discreet protection on small or boxed merchandise
- Quick application for high-volume retail environments
- Cost-effective versus reusable hard tags
- 58 kHz acoustomagnetic — compatible with any AM EAS gate
- Reliable detection on metal/foil-containing products (AM advantage over RF labels)
- Optional custom printing for branding and security messaging
