Provides Optical Retailers With Extra Deep Version of OptiLok for Thick Plastic Eyewear Frames

Checkpoint Systems, a leading global supplier of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), RFID solutions and Alpha High-Theft Solutions for the retail industry, today added the Alpha OptiLok XD to its line of specialized tags to protect against retail eyewear theft.

The new hard tag follows the introduction of the OptiLok line earlier this year and offers optical retailers an extra deep version of the same product for thick plastic eyewear frames.

The new hard tag OptiLok line  offers an improved and refined design to enhance the ease and speed of application/removal without any security compromises. It is based on a well-proven adjustable grip mechanism used in previous eyewear tags, but with an ingenious locking mechanism allowing easier application and removal. The locking mechanism is compatible with Checkpoint’s traditional S3 Key and is available in two sizes (large and extra deep) as well as two technologies (AM or RF).

According to Stuart Rosenthal , Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Checkpoint’s Alpha High-Theft Solutions, “We’ve learned a lot from our work with eyeglass retailers over the years, which has led us to this major improvement in protecting prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. Our new OptiLok tag provides durable construction with protective rubber pads that securely hold and protect more than 95 percent of eyewear frames, while achieving fast and easy applications and removals.”

Key features of all OptiLok tags include the following:

• Available in AM or RF technology
• Durable construction
• Quick application and removal
• Easy to recycle and reuse
• Unobtrusive
