Security Systems for Libraries

Tattle tape security solutions for covert security

Tattle Tape is the only covert security system for theft detection in the libraries. The tape consists of a magnetic metal strip embedded in a strip of thick, clear adhesive tape.



Tattle Tape for Library security

Tattle tape was designed by 3M. First user was Saint Paul Public Library in 1970. Tattle tape is usually affixed deep between the pages of a paperback book, or between the spine and binding for a hardcover book. Tattle Tape Security Strips are used to protect billions of items in thousands of libraries around the world and India. Tattle tape strips are thin and covert and may seem simple, but their powerful performance is a result of quality materials, design strength and extensive testing. Add to that the ever reliable adhesive we have the perfect product for the library security.

Why is Tattle Tape better for Library security?

One of the reason is that the Tattle Tape is covert in nature hidden between the pages or in the spine. Secondly operational frequency of Tattle Tapes is very low which makes it nearly impossible to shield its signals. Because of both these reasons Tattle tapes are difficult to tamper with or to shield. So the usual shoplifting methods can't be used to steal the items.
