摘要：Systems (100) and methods (1300) for operating a security tag (132). The methods involve: slidingly coupling a first engagement member (212) of the security tag to a first sidewall (208) forming a first right angle with a base (220) of an article; and extending a securement member (218) of the security tag across an exterior surface of the base of the article. A second engagement member (210) of the security tag is slidingly coupled to a second sidewall (206) 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 (222) of the security tag.

主权项：1. A method for operating a security tag of an Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) system, comprising: slidingly coupling a first engagement member attached to a housing of the security tag to a first sidewall forming a first right angle with a base of an article; extending a securement member of the security tag across an exterior surface of the base of the article, the securement member formed of a slender length of flexible material having a first end coupled to the housing of the security tag; slidingly coupling a second engagement member of the security tag to a second sidewall opposed from the first sidewall and forming a second right angle with the base of the article, the second engagement member attached to a second end of the securement member; decreasing a length of the securement member so as to place the securement member in a tensioned position whereby the security tag is secured to the article; locking the securement member in the tensioned position using a mechanical locking mechanism of the security tag; and preventing at least one of the first and second engagement members from being slidingly decoupled from the respective first or second sidewall of the article using at least one anti-defeat structure protruding out and away from the first engagement member, the second engagement member or the housing of the security tag in a direction towards an exposed surface of the article.
