The Merchant Magazine fabric items, attach tags with tough, f lexible plastic fasteners.

Pricemark books on the inside of the cover, not on the paper jacket which can be easilY switched to a higher priced book.

Don't label the carton alone; also label the item inside it, since the item can be switched to a lower-priced carton.

Don't label lids of caps of jars and aerosol cans; they are too easy to switch. Label the side or bottom of the item.

String tags attached by looPing invite easy removal. Put a security seal on the string, or use a strong, plastic fastener.

No adhesive sticks well to a cork surface. Apply label to a metal, glass or plastic part of the item if possible.

Make a small hole in sealed, plastic bags and mark the item inside. Don't label the bag itself, since it's a cinch to slit these open and switch the merchandise.

(10) Never apply a pressuresensitive label on top of another label. Remove the old label first. It's too easy to Peel off a new label and get the "old" price.

(11) For marked-down items, put a special control number on the new tag or label for quick verification.

(12) Expensive items deserve extra precautions. Hide a second verification tag. This tag should be referred to at the cash register.

(13) Train your checkout clerks to look for evidence of tampering, such as a torn break-awaY tag.
