Checkpoint Systems

Checkpoint Systems is an American company that specializes in loss prevention and merchandise visibility for retail companies. It manufactures a range of products and solutions that enable retailers to check inventory, speed up the replenishment cycle, prevent out-of-stocks, and reduce theft. Its portfolio includes Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) radio frequency systems, RFID hardware and software, source tagging, secure product display solutions, and a comprehensive set of RFID and barcode labeling capabilities.

Checkpoint is recognized as one of the world’s leading vertically integrated RFID providers, offering end-to-end RFID solutions from inlay manufacturing to label conversion, printing, encoding, and data analytics. The company supports global retailers and brands with real-time item-level visibility and traceability throughout the supply chain.

As of 2025, Checkpoint operates two large-scale RFID manufacturing facilities — one in China and one in Mexico City — with a combined production capacity of approximately 7.5 billion RFID inlays per year. The newly opened 10,000 m² factory in Mexico features state-of-the-art converting, bonding, printing, and personalization equipment, and is certified to SMETA and FSC CoC standards. The company is also known for pioneering innovations in RFID, including the development of microwave-safe and reusable RFID inlays for the circular economy.

Checkpoint Systems is currently a division of CCL Industries, which acquired the company in 2016 for approximately $443 million.

Checkpoint provides anti-theft protection, secure product display, electronic article surveillance, and labeling systems — offering both premium Checkpoint-branded EAS/RFID solutions and compatible options for Sensormatic systems.
