We Secure What Matters Most: Intellectual Property, Public Assets & Retail Environments
TAGIT SA is a Swiss-based multinational company founded in 2003, with research, development, and manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic. We develop and produce state-of-the-art electromagnetic (EM) security systems and detection labels designed to prevent:
- Intellectual property loss through document leaks
- Theft of library books and media
- Retail shrinkage through shoplifting and foil-based tactics
Our mission is to protect sensitive and high-risk physical items where digital systems fall short—bringing precision loss prevention to the offline world.
Our Core Focus: IP Protection, Libraries, and Retail Security
We serve three primary markets:
1. Hardcopy Leak Prevention for IP-Sensitive Environments
Our patented AntiLeak Print Paper is trusted by ministries, embassies, research labs, and defense contractors to prevent unauthorized removal of printed documents.
- Embedded microwire detection triggers EM gates and metal detectors
- Detectable even when crumpled, folded, or concealed in foil
- Compatible with printer control systems to restrict unauthorized printing
2. Library Anti-Theft Systems
We offer Tattle-Tape™ compatible EM security tags used by national libraries, universities, and public institutions. Our labels work with EM systems from 3M, Certus, Dialoc, Gateway, and others—ensuring high detection accuracy while preserving visitor access.
3. Retail Theft Prevention
TAGIT EM systems protect retailers in sectors such as supermarkets, drugstores, hotels, and concept stores. Our 3D EM detection covers:
- Foil-wrapped items,
- Small, curved, or metallic packaging
- Booster bag attempts
We produce over 300 custom label formats to ensure optimal protection for every product type.
We Rebuilt EM Technology from the Ground Up
In the early 2000s, EM systems were being phased out—seen as less powerful than RF or AM. The acquisition of Meto and Checkpoint signaled the dominance of U.S.-marketed alternatives. But in 2003, TAGIT introduced the world’s first 3D EM detection system—a patented breakthrough that solved key limitations:
- Full label orientation coverage (even vertical)
- Wider aisle widths with no performance loss
- Environmental noise resistance
- Foil and booster bag detection
This innovation restored EM as a leading technology for secure, discreet, and highly accurate physical protection.

Yes. TAGIT 3D EM systems operate at low frequencies, enabling them to detect products even when hidden in aluminium foil or booster bags—techniques used to bypass traditional RF and AM systems.TAGIT labels also perform reliably on metal surfaces, rounded packaging, and small objects. Watch how
Yes, with one exception. TAGIT EM labels are compatible with all standard EM systems except Meto. For customers using both Meto and non-Meto systems, dual-technology labels are available that work across platforms—including tagging at DC or during manufacturing.
Yes. TAGIT 3D EM technology detects labels applied to metal objects—unless the metal is magnetized, which interferes with detection.
Larger products → use longer labels for stronger signal detectionSmaller products → use short or high-performance labels (e.g. Twin or Power Labels)
Longer labels generally improve detection range, and high-performance options boost results for difficult surfaces or formats.
TAGIT systems allow you to protect more high-shrink items than other technologies, leading to significant shrinkage reduction and a better return on investment.

Only items with magnetic properties cannot be protected.This limitation aside, TAGIT 3D EM is one of the most versatile and widely compatible EAS systems available.
Nearby devices such as air conditioners, computer monitors, special lighting, and Meto EM systems can introduce environmental noise. This is a known issue with all EAS systems—not unique to TAGIT.
If environmental noise cannot be reduced physically, you can optimize system performance using:
- Master-Master or Turbo configurations
- Sensor-based tuning
These allow fine adjustment to ensure maximum detection reliability even in challenging conditions.
TAGIT 3D EM systems can detect across aisle widths up to 1.15 meters with standard setups.
- Use longer EM labels where possible
- Upgrade to Turbo Mode or Master-Master configuration with sensors
- Apply high-performance specialty labels for critical items
These adjustments allow greater aisle flexibility and stronger detection performance.
TAGIT’s 3D EM systems are used by retailers and institutions around the world to deliver reliable anti-theft protection—even on foil-wrapped, metallic, and high-risk items.
