# Highland EM Strips | Product Family Retirement

*March 2026*

Bibliotheca is retiring the Highland EM Strip product family. This change allows us to focus on supporting our core security strip solutions that libraries use every day.

Libraries currently using Highland EM strips can continue to rely on Bibliotheca’s Tattle‑Tape™ security strips as the recommended replacement moving forward.

 

## **What is Changing**

## The Following Highland EM strip Products have been Retired: 

- Highland EM Strips 5.37" On/Off 1-Sided Adhesive
- Highland EM Strips 5.37" On/Off 2-Sided Adhesive
- Highland EM Strips 6.5" 1-Sided Adhesive  
- Highland EM Strips 6.5" 2-Sided Adhesive  
- Highland EM Strips 6.5" (5,000/Box) 1-Sided Adhesive  
- Highland EM Strips 6.5" (5,000/Box) 2-Sided Adhesive

## **Recommended Alternatives**  

Libraries previously using Highland EM strips can continue protecting their collections with **Bibliotheca’s Tattle-Tape™ security strips**, which offer high quality, reliable EM security and compatibility with existing EM systems.

If your library previously used Highland EM strips, the transition to Tattle‑Tape™ strips ensures continued security protection with widely supported and actively maintained solutions.

 

## **Recommended Replacements Include:** 

- Tattle‑Tape™ Security Strips B1 – ideal for applications previously using single‑sided Highland strips
- Tattle‑Tape™ Security Strips B2 – suitable for applications previously using double‑sided Highland strips
