Abstract

An anti-theft tag including a body portion having at least a first member for supporting an electronic article surveillance marker, and a second member including an opening for receiving at least a portion of the EAS marker there through is provided. The EAS marker is preferably supported on an inner surface of the first member and is sized to fit within the opening in the assembled position. The body portion is preferably folded such that the second member at least partially overlays the first member and the EAS marker is received within the opening in the assembled position. A pre-formed fold line may be disposed between the first and second member in order to facilitate folding of the body portion. In one embodiment, a third member is provided, which may be positioned over the second member such that the EAS marker is sandwiched between the first and the third members.
