Stop Soft Toy Theft with Tamper-Proof Tags: A Shoplifting Prevention Guide

Soft toys like Jellycat teddies are a firm favourite with customers - and unfortunately, with shoplifters too. Compact, high-value, and highly desirable, they’re easy to slip under a coat or into a bag, particularly in garden centres and gift shops with outdoor areas or blind spots. Rising incidents of retail theft mean effective shoplifting prevention has never been more important.

The Challenge:

Protecting High-Value Items in Vulnerable Areas

High-demand products like Jellycat teddies are prime targets for thieves. Many conventional wrap or “spider” tags can simply be removed, leaving valuable stock unprotected. Areas such as outdoor displays, cafés, and multi-level store layouts create blind spots, making theft difficult to monitor. For garden centre security and retail theft solutions, stores need a robust method that prevents theft without burdening staff.

Our Solution:
