ABSTRACT:
A tag adapted to be attached to an article of clothing or the like with a fastener of the type comprising an elongated plastic member having a cross-bar at one end. In one embodiment, the tag comprises a sheet of material folded and sealed to define a pocket, the pocket being provided with an opening through which a cross-bar may be inserted. Both the pocket and the opening are appropriately sized and shaped so that, when a cross-bar of a fastener is inserted into the pocket through the opening, the cross-bar cannot easily be removed from the pocket without tampering with the pocket in a readily identifiable manner. The tag may be attached to an article of clothing in such a way as to make removal of the tag from the article of clothing and subsequent re-attachment of the tag to the article of clothing difficult to accomplish without providing evidence of tampering by inserting the cross-bar of a fastener comprising an elongated plastic member having a cross-bar at one end and a paddle at the opposite end first through the article of clothing and then into the pocket of the tag through the opening. In a second embodiment, the pocket of the tag is provided with a pair of openings so that the tag may be used with a fastener of the type comprising an elongated V-shaped plastic member having a first cross-bar at one end and a second cross-bar at a second end.
