Security tags are devices attached to merchandise in stores to prevent theft. They are typically made of plastic and contain a small electronic circuit that sets off an alarm when the tag is removed from the store. Security tags can be a nuisance, but there are a few simple ways to remove them without damaging the merchandise.
The most common type of security tag is the pin tag. Pin tags are attached to clothing with a small plastic pin. To remove a pin tag, you will need a pair of pliers or wire cutters. Simply grip the pin with the pliers or wire cutters and twist it back and forth until it breaks. Once the pin is broken, the tag can be removed from the clothing.
