Security threads: Manual product security without a labelling gun
Security threads (also known as hand-stacking threads or loop pins) are indispensable aids when it comes to the straightforward labelling of products. Unlike tagging threads, our security threads require no additional tools such as a tagging gun. The thread is simply passed through the label’s eyelet and the product; the pointed end locks irrevocably into the locking head. This mechanical lock ensures that labels cannot be swapped or removed without being noticed.
Versatility in three lengths: 75 mm to 225 mm
Depending on the product size and desired hanging distance, we offer our translucent threads in three tried-and-tested variants:
- Security threads 75 mm: Ideal for direct price labelling on small items, jewellery or glasses.
- Security threads 125 mm: The universal standard length for textiles, shoes, bags or household goods.
- Security threads 225 mm: The extra-long version for bulky products, bundling goods or securing larger items.
- Translucent appearance: The milky-transparent material adapts to the colour of any background and remains visually discreet in the background.
Areas of application: From logistics to quality assurance
The possible applications for Loop Pins are extremely diverse. In retail they are used for traditional labelling, in logistics for bundling cable sets or small parts, and in workshops for marking components during production. They are also frequently used in quality assurance to attach inspection labels or information signs directly to the object without damaging the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are the security threads reusable?
No, security threads are designed as single-use seals. Once locked into the sealing head, the connection can only be released by cutting the thread. This serves to protect against tampering and label mix-ups.
What material are the threads made of?
Our security threads are made from high-quality polypropylene or nylon. This material is particularly tear-resistant, flexible and resistant to moisture and many chemicals.
Can I use the threads for foodstuffs?
The threads are ideal for labelling outer packaging or crates in the food sector. However, for direct contact with unpackaged foodstuffs, the specific material requirements of your hygiene plan should be checked.
