\ west ed > we are going to get the technician back in for testing, we may have to change the type of system from fm to am if we cannot get it working at 100% security tags & labels ineo will be sending us some more samples of all the different tag sizes to test in their opinion, they recommend the 30mm labels to only be used in a double tower setup, and only if you cannot fit a 40mm, 50mm, or barcode label on your product if you are someone who has experienced a high amount of shrinkage, we would suggest trying out the larger size labels range and performance on a single tower \ 30 mm > 2ft 3ft \ 40mm > 2 5ft 3 5ft \ barcode label > 2 5ft 3 5ft \ 50mm > 3ft 4ft with 2 towers, this should cover most doorways, but let's say we have a 6ft door with 2 towers, there is a chance that the 30mm in the center of the doorway would not be detected jan 30, 2025 new store opening on robson street, vancouver we are opening a brand new location on robson st projected for feb 28!
