Box Wraps

Spider Wrap Box Wraps for Boxed Merchandise Security

Box wraps - also known as spider wraps - are a highly effective EAS security solution for boxed or packaged goods in Australian retail environments. An adjustable steel cable with an integrated locking mechanism and battery-powered alarm wraps tightly around product packaging, triggering a loud siren if the cable is cut or tampered with. Ideal for boxed electronics, household appliances, gaming consoles, and other high-value packaged goods.

Most box wraps in our range feature dual-frequency detection, working with both AM 58 kHz (Sensormatic) and RF 8.2 MHz (Checkpoint) EAS systems. They are reusable, available in auto-retracting and manual cable styles, and removed at checkout with a dedicated spider wrap detacher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of box wraps are available and what sizes do they come in?

Leading Solutions Australia stocks spider wrap box wraps in a range of cable lengths to accommodate small boxes (such as watch or phone boxes) through to large packaged goods (such as vacuum cleaners, gaming consoles, and kitchen appliances). Cables are adjustable and retractable, so a single model can fit a range of box dimensions. Contact the team at sales@leadingsolutions.net.au for advice on sizing for specific products.

Are box wraps compatible with both Checkpoint (RF) and Sensormatic (AM) EAS systems?

Most spider wrap box wraps in the Leading Solutions Australia range feature dual-frequency detection, containing both AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz EAS elements. This allows them to trigger both Checkpoint and Sensormatic gate systems, making them a flexible choice for retailers who stock multiple EAS system types or plan future system upgrades.

What happens if someone tries to cut the cable on a box wrap?

Box wraps are fitted with a battery-powered alarm module. When the ratchet button is engaged to tighten the cable, the alarm circuit is armed and a short chirp confirms sufficient battery power. If the cable is cut, severed, or pulled forcefully beyond its tension limit, the alarm triggers a loud audible siren to alert staff and deter the theft attempt.

What is the difference between auto-retracting and manual box wraps?

Auto-retracting box wraps use an internal spring mechanism to automatically wind the cable back into the housing once detached at the point of sale, keeping the checkout area tidy and reducing staff handling time. Manual box wraps require staff to wind the cable in by hand or dial. Both types offer the same security level - the choice depends on checkout workflow and staff preference.

How are box wraps removed at the checkout?

Box wraps are removed at the point of sale using a dedicated spider wrap detacher. The cashier inserts the detacher key or tool into the release slot on the box wrap housing, which disengages the ratchet locking mechanism and allows the cable to be unwound and the wrap removed safely from the product packaging.

Does Leading Solutions offer box wraps at bulk or wholesale pricing for Australian retailers?

Yes. Leading Solutions Australia provides trade and wholesale pricing to registered business partners, including retail chains, electronics retailers, and loss prevention consultants. Bulk box wrap orders are available with volume discounts. Contact sales@leadingsolutions.net.au or call 1800-960-015 to discuss trade account terms.
