Lanyard Tags

Lanyard Security Tags for Hard-to-Pin Merchandise

Lanyard tags offer a flexible EAS security solution for retail products that cannot be pinned with a traditional hard tag. The cable lanyard loops through handles, straps, zips, or around the product itself, then locks securely into the tag housing - making them ideal for handbags, footwear, belts, sporting goods, and boxed electronics. Available in both AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz formats to suit the most common EAS systems in Australian retail environments.

Our range includes lanyard tags from trusted brands including Checkpoint and Sensormatic-compatible options. Each tag is reusable, easy to apply, and removed at the checkout with a standard compatible detacher - providing strong theft deterrence without damaging your merchandise.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are lanyard tags and which products are they best suited for?

    Lanyard tags are EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) security tags fitted with a steel cable lanyard instead of a pin. The cable loops through or around a product - such as a bag handle, shoe strap, zip pull, or product packaging hole - and locks securely into the tag body. They are the preferred option for handbags, footwear, belts, luggage, sporting goods, and any merchandise that cannot safely be pierced by a standard hard tag pin.

    Are lanyard tags available in both AM and RF frequencies?

    Yes. Leading Solutions Australia stocks lanyard tags in both AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz formats. AM tags are compatible with Sensormatic EAS gate systems; RF tags work with Checkpoint systems. It is essential to match the tag frequency to your store's EAS pedestals to ensure reliable detection at the exit.

    How secure is the cable locking mechanism on a lanyard tag?

    The cable lanyard on a retail security tag is constructed from steel wire encased in a nylon sleeve and locks into the tag housing using a ratchet mechanism that cannot be released without an authorised detacher. This design prevents the cable from being pulled out or loosened by hand, providing strong resistance to tampering in a retail environment.

    Do lanyard tags damage delicate items like leather handbags or premium footwear?

    Lanyard tags are designed to secure products without piercing or adhesively bonding to them. The cable loops through existing openings such as handles, rings, or zip pulls, and the nylon sleeve protects delicate surfaces from scratching. For very high-value or sensitive items, contact the Leading Solutions team for advice on the most suitable tag style.

    How are lanyard tags removed at the checkout?

    Lanyard tags are removed at the point of sale using a compatible detacher - either a magnetic detacher or a specific pin detacher depending on the tag model. The cashier places the tag against the detacher, which releases the internal locking mechanism and allows the cable to be withdrawn and the tag removed from the product. Leading Solutions Australia stocks compatible detachers.

    Can I order lanyard tags in bulk for a multi-store retail chain in Australia?

    Yes. Leading Solutions Australia offers trade and wholesale pricing for registered business partners, including multi-store retail groups, loss prevention consultants, and merchandising agencies across Australia.
