Abstract: A hang tag having an electronic article surveillance (EAS) device is provided by using a conventional hang tag substrate, such as paper, securing the EAS device therein, and folding the substrate onto itself and securing it with a permanent adhesive. Preferably the substrate is accordian folded. With the EAS device permanently secured and hidden in a fold, the article is more amenable to consideration by the consumer, and the EAS device is unobtrusive.
