WG Overlay TR Label
WG · AM 58 kHz label · over-existing-label format
TR Label designed as an overlay — sits on top of an existing manufacturer label, hangtag, or product graphic without obscuring the underlying content. Useful when the merchandise package already has its visual hierarchy in place and a separate white EAS sticker would clutter it. Same 58 kHz AM detection, applied as an overlay rather than a primary surface label.

- Use case

Available new through Retail Security Group Inc.
Overview
Over-label EAS, preserves merchandise visual hierarchy.
Some packaging is already heavily designed — premium cosmetics, branded electronics, gift-pack SKUs — and adding a separate stark-white EAS sticker breaks the visual hierarchy the brand carefully built. Overlay TR is the response: the EAS receiver is engineered to sit on top of an existing label or graphic without obscuring it. Cashiers and customers see the underlying package design through or around the overlay, while the gate still detects the AM core. Practical alternative to Drop-in when the package can't be opened for insertion.
