The smarter alternative to spider tags.
Pataco's alarmed display security protects your highest-risk merchandise without the mess. A simple silicone band with a Viper or Turtle alarm under it - applied in seconds, removed in seconds. No tangled cables. No wasted till time. Swiss-engineered since 1976, and now available in the UK through Link Integrated.
Tangled. Slow. Frustrating.
Standard spider tags don't auto-recoil. Staff chuck them aside at the till and come back to a nest of cables to untangle. Minutes lost per sale. Auto-recoil spider tags exist but are patented and expensive.
Band. Tag. Done.
A stretch silicone band around the product, a Viper or Turtle alarm clipped under the band, activator pin pressed. On in seconds, off in seconds. Nothing to recoil. Nothing to tangle. The till queue keeps moving.
Built for busy retail floors
Pataco understands the reality of a live till. Every second spent untangling, detaching or recoiling security devices is a second lost on service. Their products are designed backwards from that truth.
No tangles
Band-and-clip application means there's nothing to recoil. A Viper or Turtle tag sits under a silicone band that the customer never touches. At the till, lift the band, remove the alarm, done.
Faster checkouts
Spider tags slow every transaction. Pataco's under-band tag comes off in seconds. Multiply that by hundreds of sales a day and you recover meaningful staff time.
Product visibility
Spider cables cover and obscure the product. A discreet band around the packaging keeps the product visible, photographable, and sellable - while still being protected.
Tamper alarms
Two-alarm and three-alarm variants. The tag itself screams if someone tries to remove it without the magnetic detacher. Dual infrared sensors on Viper detect tampering attempts.
Massive product range
Over 50 SKUs covering boxes, bags, bottles, cans, fashion, display units, high-value electronics, hardware tools. Whatever your shrinkage hotspot is, Pataco has an answer.
