A security tag, comprising:
- an elongated inlay portion;
- an antenna mounted on the elongated inlay portion;
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit coupled with the antenna;
- a first textile material layer;
- and
- a second textile material layer;
- wherein the first textile material layer is fixedly attached to the second textile material layer on at least one longitudinal side in a manner that non-fixedly contains the elongated inlay portion, the antenna, and the RFID circuit, and
- wherein the antenna is coupled with an induction loop and the antenna extends along the security tag in a longitudinal direction.
