Pilf resistant packaging system

A theft-proof packaging system, comprising:

• a product package including a compartment configured to encapsulate a product, wherein the compartment is in a non-surrounding environmental state, the non-surrounding environmental state being either pneumatically pressurized above a surrounding environment or pneumatically vacuumized below the surrounding environment;
• a pressure sensor assembly, comprising:
• a pressure sensor located at least partially inside the compartment;
• a power source, wherein the power source is a battery;
• and
• a transmitter electrically connectable to the power source by the pressure sensor, wherein the transmitter is configured to send a wireless signal;
• wherein the pressure sensor comprises a switch, the switch configured to disconnect and connect the power source to the transmitter, wherein the switch is configured to disconnect the power source from the transmitter in the presence of the non-surrounding environmental state inside the compartment and the switch is configured to connect the power source to the transmitter when the compartment equalizes to the surrounding environment;
• a receiving unit located outside the compartment of the product package and disposed remote from the product package, the receiving unit comprising:
• a receiver configured to receive the wireless signal from the transmitter;
• and
• an alarm electrically connected to the receiver;
• wherein the pressure sensor assembly is configured to detect a change inside the compartment from the non-surrounding environmental state to the surrounding environment and then send the wireless signal to the receiving unit activating the alarm;
• and
• a passive RFID tag located within the compartment, the passive RFID tag configured to be detected when it passes through a walk-through scanner and activating a second alarm associated with the walk-through scanner.
