Tagging snacks or soft packaging

Adding snacks to your Byte store is a great way to increase the average ticket amount, as well as offer go-to items during peak snacking periods like 10a and 3p. Regular Tags or Metal Flag Tags are most often used on snacks, however, always follow best practices:

  • If the tag has the potential to be microwaved, use a Microwave Safe Tag
  • If the tag will be placed directly on metal or foil-lined packaging, use a Metal Flag Tag
  • If the tag will be placed on a non-metal drink, use a Drink Flag Tag

Below are a few examples of tagging different kinds of snacks:

Snack Packaging

Many snacks, such as bags of chips and health bars, have packaging with a foil lining. In this situation, a Metal Safe Tag must be used. The Metal Safe Tag allows the RFID chip to be lifted from the foil packaging, allowing for better readability. Below are a few examples:

This cheese pack is merchandised upright, and the standard tag is placed directly on the back.

The tag is placed directly on the back of the packaging. A product like this can be merchandised directly on the shelf, in a merchandising package or container.

A regular tag can be placed directly on the back of a snack pack. An item like the snack pack above should be merchandised vertically for the best visibility by customers.

This Metal Flag Tag works well for this bar because it can reach above the bar to be read by the RFID scanners.
