Abstract
Systems () and methods () for operating a security tag (). The methods involve: slidingly coupling a first engagement member () of the security tag to a first sidewall () forming a first right angle with a base () of an article; and extending a securement member () of the security tag across an exterior surface of the base of the article. A second engagement member () of the security tag is slidingly coupled to a second sidewall () opposed from the first sidewall and forming a second right angle with the base of the article. A length of the securement member is then decreased so as to place the securement member in a tensioned position whereby the security tag is secured to the article. The securement member can be locked in the tensioned position using a mechanical locking mechanism () of the security tag.
