We offer 3 material versions of non-residue security labels.

Choosing the best label version is primarily based on the type of surface where the label will be affixed.


1) Colored Secure-Guard (Red; Blue; Green)

Before/After
Removal

This version is our most popular and most versatile non-residue label for smooth non-porous surfaces.

Recommended Surfaces:

• Bare metal
• Glass (1 day)
  
• PVC (1 day)
• Painted metal
• Painted & varnished wood
• Most smooth plastic
• Most non-porous surfaces
  
  Typical Applications:
  

• Windows
• Doors
• Block Mobile Phone Camera Lens
• Ballot Boxes
• Files and Cabinets
• Aircraft: Metal Hatches and Doors
• Access Panel for Calibration Settings
• Retail Gasoline Dispenser Hatch and Door
  
  

To minimize adhesive residue on high energy surfaces (glass, PVC, polycarbonate, plexiglass, etc), remove the label using a 180 degree peel angle.

2) Plastic-Guard (Blue)

Before/After
Removal

This label is best for plastics, textured surfaces (both metal and plastic), porous surfaces and other low energy surfaces.

Recommended Surfaces:

• Textured and Smooth Plastic
• Textured Metal
• Surfaces with Powder Coated Paint
• Cardboard, Paperboard & Paper
  

Typical Applications:

• Interior Plastic Panels & Doors on Aircraft, Boats and Vehicles
• Plastic Totes
• Plastic Carrying Cases for Instruments & Equipment
• Plastic Bags
• Textured Metal Doors
• Shipping Cartons
• Paper Envelopes

NOTE: Due to the high-tack adhesive, if applied to glass, metal, PVC, or other high-energy surfaces, Plastic-Guard labels will perform as a conventional security label, which will leave a residue on the surface. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

3) Metallic SecureGuard (Gold)

Before/After
Removal

This version was our initial non-residue label; it is slowly being replaced by the other newer non-residue versions.

It is primarily intended for non-porous surfaces (glass, bare metal, painted metal, etc).

Because this labels contains an aluminum film which is conductive, it may not be suitable for electrical applications.

This product is also affordable if a custom hidden pattern is required for a small order quantity.

We have the ability to use different adhesives on this material, so it can be customized for unique surfaces and applications (extreme temperatures, etc).

Also, some customers prefer the distinctive gold metallic finish.

After application to the recommended surfaces, the adhesive systems are intended to leave no residue for about 90 days.

In some conditions, the non residue feature may be impaired. In these cases, when removed, the label will still show the OPENED VOID message, but the label may leave an adhesive residue on the surface. Such conditions include:

a) Application to some high energy surfaces (glass, PVC, polycarbonate, plexiglas, etc) the non residue feature may only function for 1 day, then the label will revert to leaving a residue.

b) If the label is applied longer than 90 days, some adhesive residue may remain on the affixed surface.

c) After affixing to the surface, temperatures over 120F or less than 30F may cause the label to leave adhesive residue when removed.


To minimize adhesive residue on the surface, remove the label using a 180 degree peel angle.

In the event there is adhesive residue, it can be cleaned with a citrus-based household cleaner (Goo-gone, Orange Sol, etc) or iso-propyl alcohol.

For the customized imprint, our standard process is to print custom text, logos and serial numbers on the surface of the label using thermal transfer resin ribbons. The thermal inks are durable to mechanical abrasion, scratching and most liquids and are suitable for most applications. However, thermal printed inks can be removed with certain solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, or lotions containing alcohol.

We offer free samples of our non-residue security labels for testing and evaluation. We recommend testing prior to ordering to assure the product will meet your needs.
