- Stock and Custom Products
Acetate tape and seals are often used to detect tampering with various containers or bare metal access panels.
The low price of acetate security tape and seals makes this product one of the most affordable options we offer.
Typical applications include sealing paper bags, envelopes, bottles, jars, cartons, bare metal, styrofoam, most packaging materials, some plastic surfaces, etc.
Acetate tape and seals are frangible, which means they tear easily when removed.
The “broken seal” feature of acetate signals tampering. After application, acetate material can be removed, but it is designed to tear into multiple pieces. The serrated edges (a sawtooth pattern) enhance the frangibility and security.
The self-destruction feature is designed to show signs of tampering, even if removed immediately after application.

Tamper Evident feature
Chemical tampering causes the solvent-sensitive inks to dissolve and smear.
The acetate surface is receptive to marking by using ink pen or permanent marker. This allows additional customization of security features such as a hand-written serial number, file number, contents label or personal signature.
Acetate seals and tape are mostly translucent. If applied over hand-written or printed information, the underlying information is still readable and the acetate will protect it from alterations.
When removed, acetate tape and seals do not leave any messy adhesive residue, but the film will break into several pieces.
Clean Up: If applied to a reusable container or surface, use isopropyl alcohol to soak and dissolve the remaining acetate pieces and adhesive.
If applied to unfinished metal, a razor can be used to scrape the remaining pieces, then clean the surface with alcohol.

Stock Acetate Tape: Security Seal & Evidence
For maximum contrast of the hand-written information, our acetate tape has a white write-on strip. The tape can be used as a continuous tape or cut (or torn) into custom lengths.
The printed pattern (SECURITY SEAL, EVIDENCE OR EVIDENCIA) repeats every 5 inches.
Each roll is supplied in a cardboard dispenser box. The paper backing has a crack-and-peel feature for added convenience in removing the tape.
