Place the stamp cartridge facing up. The cartridge is the part that protrudes from the plastic and sits on the opposite side of the pin, or circular part of the security lock.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8b/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8b/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull the fabric with the security stamp away. Pull as far as you can because the ink will get on the clothes if the sensor breaks.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/31/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/31/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wrap the elastic around the safety pin. Must be large elastic, strong and long enough to wrap around the pin. This will loosen the latch from the garment.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hold the larger part of the cartridge with one hand.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull out the latch with your other hand. The force applied must be strong enough for the latch to pop out.
- If one thread is not enough to loosen the safety pin, try again with more elastic.
Use a screwdriver
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/79/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/79/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place the security stamp on the floor and let the cartridge face up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/70/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/70/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a thin-ended screwdriver along the edge of the upper pyramid.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Press down hard. The screwdriver tip will pierce the plastic and push it up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/35/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/35/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue to remove the plastic piece.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1f/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1f/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the foil lining underneath. You can also see a thin sheet of metal underneath.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/37/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/37/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a screwdriver to remove the metal that secures the safety pin.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d3/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d3/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull the latch out of the security stamp. It will be very easy to do because now there are no links holding it anymore.
Refrigerate security stamps
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cool clothes with security stamps. Leave in the freezer overnight for best results.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the security stamp. You can use hands, pliers or elastic bands. This method keeps your clothes from staining if you accidentally get them — because the ink freezes when it’s cold.
Force effect
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ae/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ae/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Gently pull the security tag away from the garment about ten times, until the safety pin loosens slightly.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/61/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/61/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a large nail. The nail should be larger than the security stamp and the tip should be about the size of a coin.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/14/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/14/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull the security tag away from the garment. Place the plastic part of the security stamp on its side lengthwise.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a hammer to nail down the cartridge until it pops open. Do not use too much force, just repeat the movement many times, maybe twenty times or more to let it come out of the clothes.
- Do not use too much force if you do not want the security stamp to break.
Use sharp-nose pliers
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hold the security tag with the toner cartridge facing up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/af/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/af/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-700px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:368,”bigWidth”:700,”bigHeight”:560,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use pliers to hold the other end of the security stamp.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use another pliers to hold the other end.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4a/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bend both ends with pliers. Do not break too hard as the stamp may crack and ink will splash everywhere.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/69/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/69/Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Gently bend the stamp until it pops out. This will release the pin and the security stamp will open.
Use strong force on tags
Many modern stamps will have an electromagnet layer instead of a cartridge; When you open it, you will find that there is no ink inside.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e0/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-24.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-24.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e0/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing- Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-24.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Insert something in the center of the safety pin to create space.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing- Step-25.jpg/v4-700px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:368,”bigWidth”:700,”bigHeight” :560,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bend the safety pin up and down until it comes off.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/78/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-26.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-26.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/78/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing- Step-26.jpg/v4-700px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-26.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:368,”bigWidth”:700,”bigHeight” :560,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull the security card firmly so that the safety pin falls out of the card.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0b/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-a- Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0b/Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing- Step-27.jpg/v4-700px-Remove-a-Security-Tag-from-Clothing-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:368,”bigWidth”:700,”bigHeight” :560,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the security card.
Use heat
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ab/Burn-the-tag.png/460px-Burn-the-tag.png”,”bigUrl”:”https: //www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ab/Burn-the-tag.png/492px-Burn-the-tag.png”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:308,”bigWidth” :492,”bigHeight”:329,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Burn security card. Using a lighter, heat the top of the stamp. After burning for a few seconds most cards will catch fire.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/6/6a/Chop-with-a-knife.png”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/ thumb/6/6a/Chop-with-a-knife.png/434px-Chop-with-a-knife.png”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:296,”bigWidth”:434,”bigHeight” :279,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a knife or similar tool to cut the top of the dome.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/1/1c/Scoop-in-the-hpe.png”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/ thumb/1/1c/Scoop-in-the-hpe.png/411px-Scoop-in-the-hpe.png”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:328,”bigWidth”:411,”bigHeight” :293,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue digging down, you will see the spring inside and removing the security tag will be easy.
Advice
- Don’t do the above before you leave the store.
- The above methods are used for rectangular cards and spiral security pins.
- Some stores use magnets to remove the security tag, so try placing two magnets on either side of the safety pin to remove it. In addition, a strong magnet can also be placed on the side of the plastic to pull the safety pin out.
- You can also use a lighter, burn until the plastic melts and reveal the metal that holds the safety pin inside the card, use force and the card will be removed from the clothes.
- For cards that are rectangular and have ink inside, they have only one gear on the back to secure the safety pin to protect the ink cartridge inside.
- Take a sample of cardboard and place it under the ink cartridge to prevent it from coming into contact with your clothing to prevent ink from getting on the fabric when you try to remove the security tag.
- You can also remove the security tag with pliers.
- Use a drill. This only takes a few seconds because the plastic is very soft.
Attention
- Be careful when using a screwdriver!
- Do not steal.
Things you need
- Small screwdriver with flat head.
- Hammer
- Two hands (or facilitator!)
- A sharp knife can replace a screwdriver because it is easier to cut off the sharp part of the card than to pry it up.
