Sensormatic Solutions Expands Sewn-in RFID Tags

Sensormatic Solutions, part of Johnson Controls, now offers two discreet radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagging options for clothing, apparel, and accessories for brands and retailers seeking deep insights without compromising garments’ look and feel. 

Its new RFID Seam Tag and RFID Brand Label can be sewn directly into garments without altering fit, function, or impacting the branding. This approach can extend the life of RFID investments, helping brands to help verify authenticity, help deter theft, and remove friction to help enable a seamless shopper journey. 

RFID Seam Tag and RFID Brand Label are designed with the natural feel of fabric and the needs of versatile, fast production environments. 

The RFID Seam Tag’s narrow and flexible design allows it to be embedded in the seam of apparel and accessories, whereas the RFID Brand Label is sewn into the garment according to the retailer’s brand discretion. 

Each tag can become a unique and long-lasting digital fingerprint, providing item-level identity from factory to store and beyond to enable inventory and omnichannel accuracy. Their design is intended to curb counterfeiting and unauthorized resales to enhance satisfaction.

“These tagging solutions turn inventory intelligence into comprehensive brand protection,” said Tony D’Onofrio, president of Sensormatic Solutions. “They represent the next era of omnichannel retail intelligence tools, pairing full product visibility and protection in a discreet package. They’re designed to be permanent and tamper-resistant, providing retailers with information needed to address total retail loss from the source through their supply chains and sales floors, and beyond. This helps enhance shopper experiences, preserve revenue, and control shrink.”

Both will be on display at NRF Protect, Booth #1116, June 8-10, 2026, in Grapevine, TX.
