There are many benefits to both retailers and their suppliers by tagging products at source, i.e the point when the product is manufactured, some of the benefits are:

• The security labels can be applied within the packaging making them even more secure and unobtrusive, this can only be done at source
• Reduce staff costs in the time taken to apply the labels externally to merchandise before it reaches the shop floor
• Depending on who purchases the labels in some cases it is possible to save money on the cost side of the labels
• The merchandise will arrive pre-labelled and ready for the shelves, meaning better product availability and increased speed of the products reaching the shop floor
