THOROFARE, N.J. -
Checkpoint Systems, Inc., a leading global supplier of merchandise
availability solutions for the retail industry, today announced that more than
3,000 retail stores are now protecting P&G Gillette razor blades with its
innovative
iS AutoPeg Tag.
The iS AutoPeg Tag was designed for razor blades and other high-risk items
displayed on peg hooks. It snaps quickly and safely on single- or double-hole
packaging and can be easily removed at point of sale for reuse.
The iS Autopeg Tag ensures that Gillette razor blades are in stock with
customer-friendly availability so shoppers don't find empty shelves or need to
ask store associates to help them make a purchase. In addition, because they are
easy to remove at POS, shoppers experience a faster checkout. Moreover, iS
Autopeg Tags are very space efficient, visually easy to examine for compliance,
enable customers to easily read and touch the packaging, and offer an improved
overall look and feel for the category.
According
to Shawn Evans, Shave On Shelf Availability Leader, North America, for Procter &
Gamble, "We worked with our retailers and Checkpoint to develop iS Autopeg Tags,
which can be customized to fit on razor blade packaging so that blades are
available and easily accessible to our customers in open displays. The iS
AutoPeg Tag has proven to be highly effective at increasing on shelf
availability and we are looking to expand to 7,000 - 10,000 retail stores by
June 2016."
"We're excited to work with P&G and its retailers to ensure the on-shelf
availability of their products, and simplify operational processes in stores,"
said Per Levin, President of Merchandise Availability Solutions, Checkpoint
Systems. "The iS AutoPeg Tag is an innovative product protection solution, which
is helping retailers sell more, lose less and simplify store operations."
