Tamper-Evident

What are Tamper-Evident Labels?

Tamper-evident labels are designed to provide visible evidence if a product or package has been tampered with. These labels use various techniques and materials to ensure that any attempt to open or alter the package leaves a noticeable mark, enhancing security and integrity.

Weight and Thickness

• Face Material: Tamper-evident labels come in different materials such as synthetic films, tearable papers, and void-indicating materials. Synthetic films (like PET or PP) are durable and resistant to environmental factors, while tearable papers provide a more traditional approach. Void labels have built-in features that reveal tampering.

• Overall Weight Consideration: The weight of tamper-evident labels includes the face material, adhesive, and liner. Each component affects the label’s performance, including its ability to adhere properly, resist tampering, and maintain integrity.

• Liner Options: Liners for tamper-evident labels can include silicone-coated papers or films, designed to facilitate easy peeling and application. The choice of liner can influence the ease of label application and its effectiveness in tamper-evident performance.

Sustainability

• Eco-Friendly Options: While traditional tamper-evident labels may not always be recyclable, some manufacturers offer eco-friendly options made from recyclable materials or designed to minimize environmental impact. Check with suppliers for sustainable choices.

Applications

• Product Security: Ideal for packaging where security is a priority, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food & beverages. Tamper-evident labels provide visible proof if tampering occurs, protecting product integrity.

• Brand Protection: Effective for preventing counterfeiting and unauthorized access. Void labels and synthetic tamper-evident materials help ensure that any tampering is easily detectable, preserving brand reputation.

• Industry-Specific Uses: Common in industries where compliance and safety are critical. Tamper-evident labels are used in medical devices, consumer goods, and other sectors requiring high security and traceability.

• Promotional Labels: Suitable for promotional items and limited-edition products, where added security can enhance perceived value and authenticity.

Finish

• Synthetic Materials: Offers a sleek, durable finish resistant to moisture, chemicals, and physical wear. Ensures that tampering evidence remains visible and clear.

• Tearable Papers: Provides a more traditional look, with the material designed to tear or break upon tampering, offering immediate visual evidence.

• Void Labels: Features a built-in "VOID" pattern that becomes visible when the label is removed or tampered with, providing clear evidence of tampering.

Each type of tamper-evident label is designed to meet specific security needs, offering a range of options for protecting products and ensuring integrity.
