hankintariskeihin

Hankintariskeihin refers to a purchasing system in which customers of a store, restaurant, or other establishment can attach their name tags or loyalty cards to their receipts. This method was primarily used in the past in Finland. The receipts feature a detachable slip that can be torn off and attached to personal items such as purses, keys, or wallets.

The system allowed customers to eject the detached slip before disposal of the receipt, thus providing a simple and low-tech method to keep track of previous purchases. It was especially useful in an era before smartphones dominated the retail industry.

Hankintariskeihin strips, also known as "customer tags," usually comprised a business's name on the left side in the form of letters, and a uniquely designed geometric pattern with employee codes referred to as the risti in the center for accurate billing. The name, order date, and total amount were printed on the tag.

The tags' primary function was order tracking and enabling the seamless verification of purchases. Despite the increasing digitization of sales records, these tangible labels remain a nostalgic reminder of more straightforward customer databases and paper receipts.
