- 27 cm – for larger handbags, boxes, and apparel

Why Retailers Trust Chirp Protect
Protected Against Illegal Magnet Detachers
The Lanyard Tag is built to be extremely robust, giving retailers reliable protection against even the most determined thieves. Its design prevents tampering and ensures products stay secure until the point of purchase.
- Cannot be removed with a magnet or hook – only a dedicated Chirp Protect deactivator will release it.
- Any attempt to force or cut the tag triggers an instant alarm, stopping thieves in their tracks.
Seamless Integration with Store Security Systems
When used with the Chirp ITS Box, the Lanyard Tag links directly to your existing security hardware to create a stronger, joined-up defence. Key benefits include:
- CCTV integration – alarms from the Lanyard Tag automatically flag footage, making it quick and easy to locate and review incidents.
- Instant staff alerts – alarms are sent directly to headsets or radios, allowing your team to react in real time.
- Comprehensive protection – combines product-level security with live staff response and clear video evidence for a complete solution.

A Video Overview of the Lanyard Tag
The Chirp Protect Lanyard Tag is a versatile, tamper-proof security solution designed to protect handbags, apparel, soft toys, and high-theft everyday items. Using a secure lanyard cable that loops through or around the product, the tag locks firmly in place and activates its powerful self-alarming function. If a thief attempts to cut, disconnect, or forcibly remove the cable, the Lanyard Tag will trigger a loud audible alarm, drawing attention and deterring theft. With the alarm built directly into the tag, protection continues even if the thief leaves the store, making it impossible to walk away unnoticed.
Unlike traditional tags, the Lanyard Tag cannot be silenced with magnets or common thief tools, ensuring stronger, more reliable protection. Quick for staff to apply, remove, and reset, it delivers robust product security without disrupting the checkout process. The Lanyard Tag works seamlessly with the Chirp Edge system, giving retailers a flexible, high-performance solution to safeguard their most vulnerable products.
