EAS Source Tagging- Sewn-in Tag Requirements

Kohl’s has found that vendors who attach EAS hard tags at the production facility are more

efficient than the application process at store level. Kohl’s has worked with our EAS suppliers to

develop a type of security tag for the express purpose of attaching it at the source of production.

Kohl’s has found that vendors who attach EAS sewn-in tags at the production facility will

ultimately result in better merchandise presentation, improved speed of goods to the sales floor,

reduced inventory shortage, and better in-stock positioning.

barcode and will help ensure proper deactivation at point of sale. Please direct any questions to
