1. A system comprising:
liner material including a conductive portion; and
a tracking tag at least initially arranged on the liner material, the tracking tag including a top layer, beacon transmission circuitry, a bottom layer of adhesive, and an activation mechanism configured to activate the tracking tag and cause the beacon transmission circuitry to transmit beacon signals in order to enable tracking of the tracking tag, wherein the activation mechanism includes an initially closed circuit between the tracking tag and the conductive portion of the liner material, and wherein the activation mechanism is configured to automatically activate the tracking tag when the tracking tag is removed from the liner material.
