EAS Labels are applied to the merchandise in an unobtrusive manner so as not to interfere with the merchandising strategy. An EAS label is NOT applied to the artilce's price tag as it is too easily removed.
The EAS Label is left on the merchandise when the customer brings the article to the cash counter for payment and either run over a deactivation unit to deactivate the label or, in the case of an RF EAS Label, covered with a detuner label. A deactivated EAS Label or one covered with a detuner label will not cause the antennas at the store exit to alarm when the purchased article passes through.
