security tape

s

        The most common type of security tape is simply custom printed carton sealing tape. This is also the least expensive option. The tape is usually a PVC or polypropylene with an aggressive adhesive suitable for boxes. It can be any color, but usually the imprint is printed diagonally, with patterns. If the tape is cut and then covered over by clear tape, the imprint will need to line up exactly, or else tampering is indicated.

        One way to combat the above style of tape is to simply cover it over with wider tape, so that the original tape is totally hidden. Another style of tape, which is used more widely on consumer medicines and food packaging is the destructible film that flakes when an attempt is made to peel it away. This is generally too expensive for carton sealing applications, but is a good choice for the smaller jar or bag sealing applications. The tape is usually imprinted with a diagonal message that says “do not purchase if seal is broken.” The tape may also have serrated edges to further prevent peeling away. The tape can also be cut, but again with a proper imprint, relining up is very difficult.

         Protecting your earnings and stock is of the utmost importance in any business. Lead security seals can help you hold on to what you've earned as well as let you know when anyone tries to get to it. Designed with tamperers in mind, a lead security -- or pull-through -- seal is installed with wire that is manufactured to break off at certain points during removal.
