Removing Old Navy Security Tags: A Step-by-Step Guide
As an active online shopper, you have likely encountered security tags embedded in your Old Navy packages. These tags, which resemble small plastic squares attached to a wire or sticky strip, are designed to deter shoplifting by ringing up as an item or alerting store security as soon as someone attempts to remove the tag. Although frustrating, removing these tags is a necessary step if you plan to resell the items or store them neatly in your closet.
How to Remove Old Navy Security Tags
Fear not, dear shoppers, for we have gathered comprehensive steps to help you carefully remove Old Navy security tags. Please note that our expertise on tampering with security devices must not be taken as our recommendation or encouragement.
Method 1: Using a Credit Card
- Step 1: Locate the security tag attached to the Old Navy package.
- Step 2: Obtain a credit card or another stiff plastic card with enough space to slide between the tag and the fabric material.
- Step 3: Slowly and carefully slide the plastic card under the tag, while pressing down gently.
- Step 4: Once the card has taken the tag’s position beneath the fabric, tilt the card upward gently, allowing the tag to rise above the surface without removing it from the object.
Important Notes
• Be cautious when tilting the card upward. Sudden movements might knock off the tag or pull on the fabric, breaking it.
• The slower you move, the cleaner and more precise you remove the tag.
Method 2: Using a Security Tag Release Tool
- Step 1: Locate the nearest department store or retailer; many carry security tag-release tools.
- Step 2: Using a security tag release key (available at your expense) or purchasing an ONS (Old Navy Shoplifter) Removal Plier, hold one side of the pliers on the tag and hold the other side near its opposite end.
- Step 3: Gently tighten the pliers, being cautious not to push back or break the fabric attached to the tag while rotating the tag back upon itself.
- Step 4: Using a small, clean paper towel or cloth, pull out the tag with firm pressure.
Tips on Choosing the Right Security Tool
• For easier movement and less damage to store fabrics, consider an instrument designed specifically for tag cutting (e.g., Shoplifting Prevention Device – DSP 1000).
