TAG FOR PRODUCT AUTHENTICATION

摘要

A tag for use in item authentication is presented. The tag is configured as a clip having two integral clip flaps shiftable from their normally open extended position to a closed, folded position to thereby clamp a thin material of the item between the closed clip flaps. The flaps are formed with a locking mechanism, such that after the mechanism has been locked, opening thereof without breaking is prevented. The tag carries a machine readable unit allowing the tag identification.
